Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
(Verse1)
The light shines down the valley
The wind blows up the alley
Oh, and how I wish I was lying in the arms of Mary
(Verse)
She took the pains of boyhood
And turned them into feel good
Oh, and how I wish was lying in the arms of Mary
(Chorus)
Mary was the girl who taught me all I had to know
She put me right on the first mistake
Summer wasn't gone when I'd learned all she had to show
She really gave all a boy could take, yeah
(Verse3)
So now when I get lonely
Still lookin' for the one and only
That's when I wish I was lying in the arms of Mary
(Chorus)
Instrumental interlude
(Chorus)
(Verse1)
The light shines down the valley
The wind blows up the alley
Oh, and how I wish I was lying in the arms of Mary
Oh, and wish I was lying in the arms of Mary
