Текст песни с аккордами

    	    	Вступление

G                                               D7  
I saved up my money to buy my sweetheart some flowers 
                                                  G  
For Saturday's date and I restlessly counted the hours 
                                       G7             C  
Then today in the mail I received this short little note 
     D7                                                   G  
And I broke down inside at the message that her mother wrote 
  
                                          D7  
Mary Ann regrets she's unable to see you again 
                                                         G  
We're leaving for Europe next week she'll be busy 'till then 
                                                 G7             C  
They know that she loves me but poor boys don't fit in their plan 
    D7                                     G  
Goodbye good luck goodbye my sweet Mary Ann 
  
                                                      D7  
The weeks have gone by not a word have I heard since then 
                                                   G  
In the papers I read of the far away places she's been 
                                    G7         C  
I can't eat I can't sleep for over and over again 
    D7                                             G  
My mind reads that letter and I cry for my Mary Ann 
  
Repeat #2 
                                           D7  
My Mary Ann died they say she just wasted away 
                                                 G  
If I could have seen her I know she'd be living today 
                                        G7        C  
For we loved each other and if they had left us alone 
   D7                                              G  
Today she'd be wearing my ring not a blanket of stone 
 
Repeat #2
