Recorded in Germany (with permission) in Dec. 1962.

(Intro) G A D (Ooooo-ooooo-ooooo....ooooo-ooooo-ooooo..)
(Verse 1)
D A I saved up my money to buy my sweetheart some flowers. A D For Saturday's date and I restlessly counted the hours. D G Then today in the mail I received this short little note. D A D And I broke down inside at the message that her mother wrote.
(Chorus)
D A Mary Ann regrets she's unable to see you again. A D We're leaving for Europe next week, she'll be busy till then. D D7 They know that she loves me, but poor boys don't fit in their G plan. D A D Good-bye true love, good-bye my sweet Mary Ann.
(Verse 2)
D A The weeks have gone by not a word have I heard since then. A D In the papers I read of the far away places she's been. D G I can't eat, I can't sleep for over and over again, D A D my mind reads that letter and I cry for my Mary Ann.
(Chorus)
D A Mary Ann regrets she's unable to see you again. A D We're leaving for Europe next week, she'll be busy till then. D D7 They know that she loves me, but poor boys don't fit in their G plan. D A D Good-bye true love, good-bye my sweet Mary Ann.
(Verse 3)
D A My Mary Ann died, they said she just wasted away. A D If I could have seen her I know she'd be living today. D D7 G For we loved each other and if they'd have left us alone, D A D today she'd be wearing my ring, not a blanket of stone.
(Chorus)
D A Mary Ann regrets she's unable to see you again. A D We're leaving for Europe next week, she'll be busy till then. D D7 They knew that she loved me, but poor boys don't fit in their G plan. D A D Good-bye true love, good-bye my sweet Mary Ann.
