Take a Message To Mary
guitar tabs lyrics
[]Take [A] Message To Mary:The
Everly Brothers.
INTRO:(Spoken)
[C]
These are the words of a frontier lad,
[Em] [G] [G7]
who lost his love when he turned bad.
#1.
[C]
Take a message to Mary,
[G] [C]
but don't tell her where I am.
[C]
Take a message to Mary,
[G] [C]
but don't say I'm in a jam.
[Am] [Em]
You can tell her I had to see the world,
[Am] [D] [G] [G7]
or tell her that my ship set sail.
[G7] [C] [Em] [F] [C]
You can say she better not wait for me,
[Am] [G] [Am] [C] [G7]
but don't tell her I'm in jail. No, don't tell her I'm
[C]
in jail.
#2.
[C]
Take a message to Mary,
[G] [C]
but don't tell her what I've done.
[C]
Please don't mention the stagecoach,
[G7] [C]
and the shot from a careless gun.
[Am] [Em]
You can tell her I had to change my plans,
[Am] [D] [G] [G7]
and cancel out the wedding day.
[C] [Em] [F] [C]
But please don't mention my lonely cell,
[Am] [G] [Am] [C] [G7] [C]
where I'm gonna pine away, un-til my dying day.
#3.
[C] [G]
Take a message to Mary, but don't tell her all
[C]
you know.
[C] [G7] [C]
My hearts aching for Mary, Lord knows I miss her so.
[Am] [Em]
Just tell her I went to Timbuktu,
[Am] [D] [G] [G7]
Tell her I'm searchin' for gold.
[C] [Em] [F] [C]
You can say she'd better find someone new,
[Am] [G] [Am] [C] [G7] [C]
to cherish and to hold. Oh, Lord, this cell is cold.
[C] [Am] [C] [G7] [C]
OUTRO:Maaaa..ry, Maaa..ry. Oh, Lord this cell..is..cold.
A fifties favourite from Kraziekhat.
