[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D A7
I saved up my money to buy my sweetheart some flowers
D
For Saturday's date and I restlessly counted the hours
G Em
And today in the mail I recieved a short little note
A7 D
And I broke down inside the message that her mother wrote
[Chorus]
D A7
Mary Ann regrets she's unable to see you again
D
We're leaving for Europe next week she'll be busy till then
G Em
They know that she loves me but poor boys don't fit in their plan
A7 D
Goodbye true love goodbye my sweet Mary Ann
[Verse 2]
D A7
The weeks have gone by not a word have I heard since then
D
In the papers I read of the far away places she's been
G Em
I can't eat I can't sleep for over and over again
A7 D
My mind reads that letter and I cry for my Mary Ann
[Chorus]
D A7
Mary Ann regrets she's unable to see you again
D
We're leaving for Europe next week she'll be busy till then
G Em
They know that she loves me but poor boys don't fit in their plan
A7 D E7
Goodbye true love goodbye my sweet Mary Ann
[Verse 2]
E B7
My Mary Ann died they said she just wasted away
E
If I could have seen her I know she'd be living today
A F#m
For we loved each other and if they had left us alone
B7 E
Today she'd be wearing my ring not a blanket of stone
[Chorus]
E B7
Mary Ann regrets she's unable to see you again
E
We're leaving for Europe next week she'll be busy till then
A F#m
They know that she loves me but poor boys don't fit in their plan
B7 E
Goodbye true love goodbye my sweet Mary Ann
