Take A Message To Mary

Year: 2006 - Album: Outtakes

Written by Boudleaux Bryant/Felice Bryant

	  		E 
These are the words of a frontier lad 
G#m                             B7 
Who lost his love when he turned ba-ad 
 
E   (finger picked for 2 bars) 
 
E                                             B7                          E 
Take a message to Mary but don?t tell ?er where I am 
E                                             B7                       E 
Take a message to Mary but don?t say I?m in a jam 
              C#m                 G#m                 C#m                F#         B7 
You can tell her I had to see the world or tell ?er that my ship set sail 
               E                           A          E          C#m 
You can say she better not wait for me but don?t tell her I?m in jail 
       E                 B       E 
Oh, don?t tell her I?m in jail 
 
E                                             B7                             E 
Take a message to Mary but don?t tell ?er what I?ve done 
E                                                                        B7                             E 
Please don?t mention the stagecoach and the shot from a careless gun 
              C#m                 G#m                             C#m               F#         B7 
You can tell her I had to change my plans and cancel out the wedding day 
       E                                      A        E             C#m 
But please don?t mention my lonely cell where I?m gonna pine away 
   E         B       E 
Until my dying day 
 
E                                              B7                        E 
Take a message to Mary but don?t tell ?er all you know 
E                                                 B7                       E 
My heart?s achin? for Mary, Lord knows I miss her so 
        C#m                  G#m        C#m         F#                B7 
Just tell her I went to Timbuktu, tell her I?m searchin? for gold 
               E                            A             E         C#m 
You can say she better find someone new to cherish and to hold 
       E             B       E 
Oh, Lord, this cell is cold 
 
E           C#m 
Ma-ary, Ma-a-a-a-ary 
       E             B      E 
Oh, Lord this cell is cold
