Deep Purple – Mary Long (Guitar)

(Blackmore/Gillan/Glover/Lord/Paice) From "Who Do We Think We Are", 1973 Intro: Gm VERSE-1:

Gm              Bb/G
Mary Long is a hypocrite

     C/G                                         Gm
She does all the things that she tells us not to do

Gm                            Bb/G
Selling filth from a corner shop

       C/G                                 Gm
And knitting patterns to the high street queue

Gm                     Bb/G
She paints roses, even makes them smell good

     C/G                                 Gm
And then she draws titties on the khazy wall

Gm                     Bb/G
Drowns kittens just to get a thrill

C/G                       Gm
And writes sermons in the Sun-day Chronicle

CHORUS:

Eb           Bb                   F C   Gm
How did you lose your virginity, Ma-ry Long ?

Bb             F                    C7
When will you lose your stupidity, Mary Long ?

VERSE-2: Mary told Johnny not to write such trash Said it was a waste of public money She made a fuss, they made apologies But everybody thought the show was funny When the nation knew you'd had children It came as such a surprise We really didn't know you'd had it in you How you did it we can only surmise CHORUS: How did you lose your virginity, Mary Long ? When will you lose your stupidity, Mary Long ? VERSE-3 Mary Long, you're not alone But you're a long way behind our times What we do in full frontal view Is more honest than your clean-up mind What I'm saying, Mary Long is When you can spare a minute Go find your friend the porny Lord Dig your self a hole and jump in it CHORUS: How did you lose your virginity, Mary Long ? When will you lose your stupidity, Mary Long ?
