 this  is the story of a man who lived in utopia
 this  is the story of a man who lived in utopia
 he  was a funny little fella with feet  just like I showed  ya
 Well,  he had a girl, her name was mary lou
 well,  he had a girl, her name was mary lou
 she  did everything for him  that she could  do
 but  still, still, still he wouldnt treat her right
 but  still, still, still he wouldnt treat her right
 he  would leave in the morning, don't come back
 till late at night
 Ahh mary lou  (mary lou, mary lou)
 Oh child, you big fool (big fool, big fool)
 Ahh mary lou  (mary lou, mary lou)
 Oh child, you big fool  (big fool, bog fool)
 you did everything  for him  that you could do
 (mary lou, mary lou)
 (For the Interlude, mess around with A and G , im not overly sure
 what it is. At this time, the song changes a little)
  (D - strum with the beat/melody)
 I'm going to tell you a story about mary lou
 I mean the kind of girl who make a fool of you
 She'd make a young man groan and a poor man pain
  (  just one strum)
 They way she'd take my money was a cryin shame
 (  slide to )
 Mary lou - she took my watch and chain
 (  slide to )
 Mary lou - she took my diamond ring
 (  slide to )
 Mary lou - she took my cadillac car
 (  just one strum)
 Jumped in my kitty and then drove afar
 Well she picked  up from Georgia
 moved to Kalamazoo
 Made her a fortune outa fools like you
 Met her a rich man who was married and
 had two kids
  (  just one strum)
 She stoked that cat till he flipped his lid
 (  slide to )
 Mary lou - she took my watch and chain
 (  slide to )
 Mary lou - she took my diamond ring
 (  slide to )
 Mary lou - she took my cadillac car
  (  just one strum)
 Jumped in my kitty and then drove afar
 Well she came  back to town about a week ago
 Told me she was sorry she had hurt me so
 I had a '55 ford, and a two dollar bill
  (  just one strum)
 They way she took that man she gave me a chill
 (  slide to )
 Mary lou - she took my watch and chain
 (  slide to )
 Mary lou - she took my diamond ring
 (  slide to )
 Mary lou - she took my cadillac car
 (  just one strum)
 Jumped in my kitty and then drove afar
 Ahh, Mary lou  (mary lou, mary lou)
 Oh child, you big fool (big fool, big fool)
 Ahh, Mary lou  (mary lou, mary lou)
 Oh child, you big fool (big fool, bog fool)
 You did everything  for him  that you could do
 You did everything  for him  that you could do
 You did everything  for him  that you could do
