Mary
Scott Miller
I think this is right for the walk-downs in the verses. In terms of the other 
stuff its basic hammering on/off.
Let me know if you see problems and I'll try to fix them.
Capo 2
GMary, oh Mary how many times I Ccall
DNo, I don't want anything
But to Cknow you're there that's Gall
GYou're an angel sent by accident
To ease my worried Cmind
GAnd I doG/F#n't show you haEmlf enoughD  
But I love Ayou aDll the tiGme
GMary, oh Mary where does the time Cgo?
DFirst I hated being young
Now I'm sCcared of being Gold
GSo I decided to stop wearing a watch
So I don't hear time Cpass
GI did it G/F#half an hoEmur agDo
So we'll sAee hDow long I Glast
GMary, oh Mary I'm feeling fairly Cbad
DProblems running through my head
Like a Cbroken Gphonograph
GWon't you pack my things, give the Doc a ring
CLet him make me a bed
GLet the G/F#man come rEmound Who ties me dDown
And Ahooks Dwires to my Ghead
[Bridge]
DI was born one rainy morn
So not Cmuch changed for mGe
DJust a bigger bed and a feeling that
I'd Cgotten in too Ddeep
GMary, oh Mary keep my picture Chung
DI played death for cigarettes
And got the Ccancer in my Glungs
GTell every one of my grandsons
Exactly what I diCd
GSpent my G/F#whole life Emwaiting for this tDime
AThat I Dhardly Glived

Capo 2

G C

Mary, oh Mary how many times I call

No, I don't want anything

C G

But to know you're there that's all

You're an angel sent by accident

To ease my worried mind

G G/F# Em D

And I don't show you half enough

A D G

But I love you all the time

G C

Mary, oh Mary where does the time go?

First I hated being young

C G

Now I'm scared of being old

So I decided to stop wearing a watch

So I don't hear time pass

G G/F# Em D

I did it half an hour ago

A D G

So we'll see how long I last

G C

Mary, oh Mary I'm feeling fairly bad

Problems running through my head

C G

Like a broken phonograph

Won't you pack my things, give the Doc a ring

Let him make me a bed

G G/F# Em D

Let the man come round Who ties me down

A D G

And hooks wires to my head

[Bridge]

I was born one rainy morn

C G

So not much changed for me

Just a bigger bed and a feeling that

C D

I'd gotten in too deep

G C

Mary, oh Mary keep my picture hung

I played death for cigarettes

C G

And got the cancer in my lungs

Tell every one of my grandsons

Exactly what I did

G G/F# Em D

Spent my whole life waiting for this time

A D G

That I hardly lived
