[C#] [B] [E]
I courted Mary Ellen [A#] for [C#] fourteen solid [E] years,
but [B] she made me blush when she [E] one night boldly said to me,
You've never kissed [D#] me once, John, [C#] so I'd [F#] like you to, [B] she cried.
[F#] Why don't you call me pretty names?
I hung my head [B] and sighed.
[F#] I'm [B] shy, Mary, I'm shy.
[C#m] It [E] does seem so naughty, oh my.
[G#m] Kissing is [F#m] nice, [Em] though I've often heard [B] say,
[C#] but still how [B] to do it [F#] I don't know [B] the way.
[E]
[B] So you put your arm round my waist, [E] I promise I won't scream or cry,
[B] and you do [C#m] the kissing [Dm] and cuddling [B] instead,
because I'm shy, Mary, [E] I'm shy.
[C#] [B]
[E] To marry Mary Ellen I [G] went to church [E] one morn,
[B] whilst the party with the bride went [E] in church,
I stayed outside for quite an [D#] hour, I stood there [G] while she [F#] waited [B] to be wed.
[F#] Then she came out and said, Come in, I don't like to, [B] I said,
[E] because I'm shy, [B] Mary Ellen, I'm shy.
[C#m] It [E] does seem so naughty, oh [G#m] my, but still we [F#m] were married and [Em] got [B] home all right,
[C#] and [B] kept up the fun with [F#] our friends until [B] night.
[Em] [F#m] Then they [B] wished Mary Ellen goodbye, and [E] they started to go, so did I.
[B] She said, You are [C#m] not going, [Dm] I said, Yes I [B] am, because I'm shy, Mary Ellen, [E] I'm shy.
