Mary Jean

G A

[Verse]

A
She came into my life like a bombshell
A                                    F#m       E           A
One look and I fell for little Mary Jean, Mary Jean, Mary Jean
A
She walked cool with her head always held high
A                                         F#m
The glow in her eyes made her look like a queen
         E           A
A little queen, Mary Jean


[Chorus]

           F#m        G                 D
She took a hold of my heart and held me under a spell
            F#m           G  B
I guess she knew me real well
            E                     B
Just why we hung together through all those tears
           D                 E
I couldn't tell you now in a million years


[Verse]
A
I didn't think that the cause of my downfall
A                                          F#m        E           A
Would be pretty and small like little Mary Jean, Mary Jean, Mary Jean
A
And I couldn't know when I held her that first night
A                                           F#m
feeling ever so right that one day it would end
     E           A
In a scene, Mary Jean


[Chorus]
          F#m             G                    D
Now she's gone yes she's gone and I think I'll be alright
             F#m            G  B
But then the phone rings at night
              E                   B
She's on the line again and it's just no fun
            D                    E
We've got a bad connection, Mary I've gotta run

[Bridge]
   Bm       D                   A
Hey now, hey now I just had to tell her to go away
       Bm   D            C             Dm          Amaj7 A
Hey now, hey now it's so unexciting around here today

             F#m            G  B
But then the phone rings at night

I'm standing here looking down at my shoes
                                          G#m        F#         E    F#
