Bringing Mary Home Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][A][D][G]

[Verse 1]
I was [D]driving down a lonely
road one [C]dark and stormy [G]night
When [D]a little girl by the roadside
showed [C]up in my headlight[D]s
I [G]stopped and she got in back
and in a shaky [D]tone
She [C]said: My name is [A]Mary,
please [D]won't you take me home?
[G]

[Verse 2]
She [D]must have been so frightened
all [C]alone there in the [G]night
There was [D]something strange about her,
for her [C]face was deathly [D]white
[G]She sat so pale and quiet in
the back seat all [D]alone
I'll [C]never will for[A]get that night [D]I

[Interlude 1]
took Mary home
[G][C][A][D][G][Em][G]

[Verse 3]
I [D]pulled into the driveway
where [C]she told me to [G]go
Got [D]out to help her from the car
and [C]opened up the [D]door
But I [G]just could not believe my eyes
'cause the back seat was [D]bare
I [C]looked all [A]around the car but
[D]Mary wasn't there
[G][Em][G]

[Verse 4]
A [D]light shone from the porch,
someone [C]opened up the [G]door
I [D]asked about the little girl
that [C]I was looking f[D]or
Then [G]a lady gently smiled
and brushed a tear [D]away
She [C]said: It sure was [A]nice of you
to [D]go out of your way
[G][Em][G]

[Verse 5]
But [D]thirteen years ago today
[C]a wreck just down the [G]road
Our [D]darling Mary lost her life
an[C]d we miss her s[D]o
[G]Thank you for your trouble and the
kindness you have [D]shone
You're the [C]thirteenth one who's [A]been
here [D]bringing Mary home

[Outro 1]
