d|2 - - -|2 - - -|
TAKE A MESSAGE TO MARY, BUT DONT TELL HER WHERE I AM.
TAKE A MESSAGE TO MARY, BUT DONT SAY IM IN A JAM.
YOU CAN TELL HER I HAD TO SEE THE WORLD,
OR TELL HER THAT MY SHIP SET SAIL.
YOU CAN SAY SHE BETTER NOT WAIT FOR ME, BUT DONT TELL HER IM IN JAIL.
E
OH DONT TELL HER I-M IN JAIL.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------2:
TAKE A MESSAGE TO MARY, BUT DONT TELL HER WHAT IVE DONE.
PLEASE DONT MENTION THE STAGECOACH, AND THE SHOT FROM A CARELESS GUN.
YOU CAN TELL HER I HAD TO CHANGE MY PLANS, AND CANCEL OUT THE WEDDING DAY.
BUT PLEASE DONT MENTION MY LONELY CELL, WHERE IM GONNA PINE A-WAY.
E
UN-TIL MY DY-ING DAY.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------3:
TAKE A MESSAGE TO MARY, BUT DONT TELL HER ALL YOU KNOW.
MY HEARTS ACH-IN FOR MARY, LORD KNOWS I MISS HER SO.
JUST TELL HER I WENT TO TIMBUKTU, TELL HER IM SEARCHIN FOR GOLD.
YOU CAN SAY SHE BETTER FIND SOMEONE NEW, TO CHERISH AND TO HOLD.
OH LORD, THIS CE-LL IS COLD.
MA - RY, MA - RY, OH LORD THIS CE-LL IS CO-LD.
Have fun,
