[Intro]
CA7
I never will forget the night
D7G
That I took Mary home
[Verse 1]
D
I was driving down a lonely road
CG
On a dark and stormy night
D
When a little girl by the roadside
CD
Showed up in my headlights
G
I stopped the car, she got in the back
D
And in a shaky tone
CA7
She said, "My name is Mary
D7G
Please won't you take me home?"
[Verse 2]
D
Now, she must have been so frightened
CG
All alone there in the night
D
And there was something so strange about her
CD
Her face was deathly white
G
She sat so pale and so very quiet
D
In the backseat all alone
CA7
I never will forget the night
D7G
That I took Mary home
[Verse 3]
D
I pulled into the driveway
CG
Where she had told me to go
D
I got out to help her from the car
CD
And as I opened up the door
G
Well, I just could not believe my eyes
D
The backseat, it was bare
CA7
I looked all around the car
D7G
But Mary wasn't there
[Verse 4]
D
But a small light shone from the porch
CG
And as someone opened up the door
D
I asked the lady about the little girl
CD
That I had been looking for
G
She gently smiled and with her hand
D
She brushed a tear away
CA7
She said, "It sure was nice of you
D7G
To go out of your way"
[Verse 5]
D
"But just 13 years ago today
CG
In a wreck just down the road
D
Our darling Mary lost her life
CD
And we sure miss her so
G
But thank you for all your trouble
D
And for the kindness that you have shown
CA7
You're the 13th one who's been here
D7G
Bringing Mary home"
[Outro]
CA7
I never will forget the night
D7G
That I took Mary home
