[G] _ _ _ Mary Provis did [C] not look [D] her best
_ [G] _ _ _
The day the cops bust [C] into her _ [D] lonely nest
_ _ [G] _ In that cheap [Em] hotel up on Hollywood [C] West _ July [D] 29
_ _ [G] She'd been [C] lying there for two [D] and a half [G] weeks
_ Neighbors said they [C] never [D] heard a [G] squeak
_ Her hungry [Em] eyes that could not sleep
[C] Said even little [D] doggies have got to eat
She [G] was the _ winner
_ That became the [C] doggie's dinner
_ [Am] She never meant that [G] much to me [C] Whoa!
_ [D] _ [G] Hurry!
_ [C] _
_ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ Mary Provis [C] was a [D] big queen
[G] _ Mysterious angel [C] of the silent [D] street
[G] And one like the window [Em]-licious young Maxine
[C] _ When Mary [D] crossed the silent street
_ [G] Oh, she came out [C] west, back [D] to Bjarke [G] _ But when the doggies came, [C] Marie [D] just couldn't
go [G] _ _ Her puppies [Em] said Marie'd take a walk
[C] _ _ All the [D] way back to Bjarke She [G] was a winner
_ That became the [C] doggies' leader
[Am] _ She never meant [G] that much to me But now [C] I [D] see
_ [G] Poor Marie, [C] _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
[G] _ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[D] _ [Em] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
[G] _ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ those quib [C] files didn't [D] help her sleep
[G] As her nights grew [C] long and her days [D] grew [G] bleak
It's all downhill [Em] once you've passed your peak
[C] Marie got [G] ready for [D] that last big sleep
[G] The cops came in [C] and they looked [D] around
[G] _ _ Throwing up everywhere [C] over what they'd [D] found
[G] _ The heavy work [Em] on Marie's little dachshund
[C] _ That hungry [D] little dachshund
[G] She was a winner
_ That became the [C] doggies' leader
[Am] She never meant [G] that much to me
[C] Oh, _ [D] _ [G] poor Marie
[C] _
_ [G] _ _ [D] _ [G] Poor _ [C]
Marie
[G] _ _ [D] _ [G] Poor Marie
