Mary Ann Regrets Chords by Burl Ives

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