Eddy Arnold – Calling Mary Names (Guitar)

  C              Em              Am        Em
I used to get in trouble with my momma and daddy

    Dm7     G    C
For calling Mary names

C           Em           Am          Em
  More than once I got a sore sit me down

    Dm7     G    C     C7
For calling Mary names

F                       Em
  But little girls just didn’t fit in

     F  N.C.             G7 N.C.
With little boys playing cowboys and Indians

C       Em        Am     Em
  Every night’s a stolen game

    Dm7     G    C      Am  Dm  G
For calling Mary names

           C        Em             Am         Em
No telling how many times I had to stay after school

    Dm7     G    C
For calling Mary names

C            Em                 Am        Em
Wore out the blackboard writing I’m a bad boy

    Dm7     G    C      C7
For calling Mary names

F                            Em
  She couldn’t play baseball,   she couldn’t ride a bike

   F N.C.                     G7 N.C.
In fact she couldn’t play any games little boys liked

C       Em     Am          Em
  I was always getting the blame

    Dm7     G    C
For calling Mary names

Gm7  C7
Oooooooo

F
Then we started growing up

     Em                    A
Then we were in our teens

     F
Then something started showing up

     D7          G7
that I had never seen

C          Em     Am           Em
  All of a sudden    one day I looked

    Dm7  G        C
And Mary sure had changed

C               Em       Am         Em
  Seems like it happened    all overnight

    Dm7      G   C      C7
And Mary was rearranged

    F                        Em
Ah, but that all happened so long ago

        F                      G7
You see Mary’s my wife now and I just love her so

C         Em                Am      Em
  But one thing sure hasn’t changed

          Dm7     G    C
I’m still calling Mary names

     Am      C
Like darling

     Am          C
Then sweetheart

     Am     C
Then baby I love you

Dm7     G    C
