Oingo Boingo – Mary (Guitar)

   F#                         E
Oh Mary wasn't happy with the life that she led

          F#                          E
She was a simple girl without much to say

       F#             E
So one day she up and left her dreary home

        F#                      E               
And she left all her friends to wander all alone

       F#                            C
And at first she was afraid, she was so far away

         F#                         C
From her home but slowly she got to like it anyway

    D
Oh, Mary won't you please come

Bm
Mary won't you please come

D              C
Mary won't you please come

        F#                      E                           F#
Well in time she found that the mountain that she had been taught

                E
Her whole life, that she must avoid

    F#                              E
And though at first it hurt, and no one could comfort her

    F#                E
She finally came to appreciate it

        F#                          C
And she liked it, she liked it - oh wasn't she surprised

    F#                      C
And though still alone, she grew so much inside

    D
Oh, Mary won't you please come

Bm
Mary won't you please come

D              C
Mary won't you please come

    F#                  E
And after a time, she became so sublime

          F#                       E
She could look in peoples eyes and read their minds

           F#                              E
Though her hands would sometimes bleed and occasionally

          F#                        E
She would long for her past and the memories they bring

      F#                     C
She decided to return to her old home town

        F#                     C
And her heart was burning with all the things she found

    D
Oh, Mary won't you please come

Bm
Mary won't you please come

D              C
Mary won't you please come

            F#   E   F#   E
Please come home

    F#                    E                            F#
So, Mary came back and at first no one recognized her face

                           E
And her friends were all a little bit afraid

          F#                                  E
When they heard what she had to say, they all slowly backed away

        F#                        E
And her family took her aside and put their arms around her

          F#                         C
They said Mary won't you please come back to us now

         F#                       C
There is still time to repent for all your sins

    F#                  C
And Mary started to cry when she realized

           F#                C
That she'd never come home again in her life

    D
Oh, Mary won't you please come

Bm
Mary won't you please come

D              C
Mary won't you please come

            F#   E
Please come home

F#           E
Come home

     D       Bm
Come home

     F#      E
Come home

     F#      E
Come home

     D       Bm
Come home

     F#      E
Come home
