[Intro] GG CC G D GG [Verse 1]
G                                      C               G
While walking one day in the country I saw a gathering crowd

    C                       G
And as my footsteps drew me closer I could smell the sweet

             D
fragrance of flowers

G                                      C                    G
It looked like a family reunion had my eyes not counted the tears

       C                   G                        D       G
And an old man said by the graveside I haven't seen Mary in years
[Chorus]
C                 G       C                 G
Hold my hand and lead me  lead me away from here

  C                              G                   D       G
I just brought these flowers for Mary I haven't seen Mary in years
[Verse 2]
G                                     C                      G
When Mary and I were first married we had such plans for our child

    C                       G
But for no reason I started rambling like the four winds I just

    D
ran wild

   G                           C                     G
If I could live my life over I would bring Mary some cheer

          C                       G                     D
Now she's gone where she'll never see me I haven't seen Mary in

G
years
[Chorus]
C                 G       C                 G
Hold my hand and lead me lead me away from here

C                                 G                   D      G
I just brought these flowers for Mary I haven't seen Mary in years
[Instrumental] GG CC G D GG [Verse 3]
G
And when the old man left the gravesite

  C                   G
I walked along by his side

  C                       G
I called out his name but through all his shame

                 D        G
His son he would not recognize
[Chorus]
C                 G        C                 G
Hold my hand and lead me, lead me away from here

C                          G                    D       G
Oh how could I know it was mama, I haven't seen mama in years
[Outro]
C                                G                    D       G
Oh Lord, how could I know it was mama, I haven't seen mama in years
