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
