Harry Chapin – If My Mary Were Here (Guitar)

  C
I would not be so stoned

      F/C
[tab]      C
And I don't think I'd have phoned you

      F/C
If my Mary were here

      G            F6
I'm a sad sack Sir Gallahad

      Em7                  Dm
Whose sword's around his knees

       G               F6
With a Grail no longer holy

      Em7                   Dm
And a prayer that's saying please

  C
I would not be alone

      F/C
If my Mary were here

             Bbmaj7
But she took off

            Fmaj7    C  F/C
And Lord I'm lost

    C
You know I don't think I'd be drinkin'

      F/C
If my Mary were here

    C
And I know what I'd be thinking

      F/C
If my Mary were here

        G             F6
We'd be wrapping up a blanket

       Em7                 Dm
Full of cheddar cheese and wine

    G              F6
And packin' up our camper

    Em7             Dm
With a rendevous in mind

         C
And we'd picnic out in Lincoln Park

   F/C
If Mary were here

        Bbmaj7
But she split...

          Fmaj7     C  F/C
So, I got lit

    Bbmaj7       C
I'm sorry that I called you

       Bbmaj7        C
In the middle of the night

    Bbmaj7             C
But you're the one who listens

       Am7           D
When I need a little light

  G               Bbmaj7
I know we haven't talked

          G                  Fmaj7
Since I'd dropped you in the dirt

  G                  Bbmaj7
I know you're not my lady now

    Dm  Em7  F         G    F/G  G
But Baby        how I hurt

  C
I would toss away my troubles

        F/C
When my Mary was here

    C
But I'm lost inside the rubble

          F/C
'Cause my Mary's not here

   G               F6
So could I come on over

     Em7             Dm
With my heart in my hands

    G                F6
And place it on your pillow

       Em7           Dm
Like a rusty old tin can

    C
I'm drunk and seeing double

       F/C
But my Mary's not here

     Bbmaj7       Fmaj7              Bbmaj7
Once again be the friend that you've been

         Fmaj7    F/C
And take me      in

               C      Gm7/C  C Gm7/C  C
Please take me in...
