Standard (EADGBE)

Mary, you are everything a man could want

And I want you, Mary

Did you know, when you pushed me once away from you

And a love grew inside of me

People are dancing for you now, but I can't see why

Can't they see that they can't beat nothing I have for you

Mary, you are everything a man could need

How I need you Mary, yeah

RIFF 4 TIMES

I need you

Riff riff

When I look at the home and your coat, I have to love you more

Riff 1

I remember when I was a child and my brother slept on the floor

RIFF 1 RIFF 1

Though I know that the sun don't shine down on every man

Riff 1

But when a woman left my brother down

I swore one day I'd lay me one Mary

(harmonics) RIFF 2 FOUR TIMES

Mmmm, lay me one Mary

RIFF 2 RIFF 2 RIFF 2

Oh Mary, yeah!

When I look at the home and your coat, I have to love you more

I remember when I was a child, my brother slept on the floor, mmm

Though I know that the sun don't shine down on every man

But when women put my brother down

I swore one day I'd lay, swore I'd lay me Mary

Riff 1
