Gsus2 F#m6 Gsus2 F#m6 Em11 Em7 Cadd9
My name is Mary and I'm from Greenville, Mississippi
Gsus2 F#m6 Gsus2 F#m6 Em11 Em7 Cadd9
But this is where I live here in this old folks' dormitory
Gsus2 F#m6 Gsus2 F#m6 Em11 Em7 Cadd9
Every Sunday night Sarah comes to see us
Gsus2 F#m6 Gsus2 F#m6 Em11 Em7 Cadd9
And she plays that old upright, but Sarah always seems to leave us

When she plays something comes over me

Goes from my head all the way to my feet
[Chorus]

And I wanna dance

Gsus2 F#m6 Gsus2 F#m6 Em11 Em7 Cadd9
She's with her papa now 'cause he left for lack of penicillin
Gsus2 F#m6 Gsus2 F#m6 Em11 Em7 Cadd9
The older that I get, I figure everyone is dying
Gsus2 F#m6 Gsus2 F#m6 Em11 Em7 Cadd9
They're all dying for a change, I know I'm dying for some action

So until then I'm gonna sit right here and here I'll stay
