[G] I believe that will sell you a monument somewhere.
Actually, we did use two guitars on this, but John is versatile.
Somebody asked for it.
This has been a very good song to us through the years.
It's called Bringing Mary Home.
[C]
[A] [D]
[G] I [D] was driving down a lonely [G] road
[C] On a dark and [Gm] stormy [G] night
When [D] a little girl by the roadside
[C] Showed up in my [D] headlights
[Am] I [G] stopped, she got in the back
And in a shaky [D] tone
She [C] said, my [A] name is Mary
[D] Please won't you [Am] [G] take me home
She must have been so [D] frightened
[C] All alone there in the [G] night
There [D] was something strange about her
[C] As her face was deadly [D] white
[Am]
[G] She sat so pale and quiet
In the back seat [D] all alone
I [C] never [A] will forget that night
I took [G] Mary [C] home
[G]
[C] [A] [D]
[Am] [G]
[D] Pulled into the driveway
[C] Where she told [G] me to go
Got [D] out to help her from the car
[C] And opened [D] up the door
[Am] But [G] I just could not believe my eyes
For the back seat was [D] bare
I [Cm] looked [A] all around the [D] car
But Mary [G] wasn't there
[D] A light shone from the porch
[Am] [C] Someone opened [G] up the door
Asked [D]
about the little girl
[C] That I was looking [D] for
The [G] lady gently smiled
Brushed a tear [D] away
She [C] said it [G]
sure [A] was nice of you
To go out of [G] your way
But
[D] thirteen years ago today
[C] In a wreck just [G] down the road
[D] Our darling Mary lost her [Dm] life
[C] And we miss [D] her so
[C] Oh [G] thank you for your trouble
And the kindness [Em] you have [D] shown
[Cm] You're the thirteenth one [A] who's been here
[D] Bringing [Am]
[G] Mary home
[C] [G] [D] [C] [A]
[D] [G] [Am] [G]
