[C][Bb][A][Em]

[Verse 1]
[Em]Who would be a poor man,
a [F]beggarman, a thief
[G]If he had a rich man in his [D]hand?
[Em]And who would steal the candy
From a [F]laughing baby's mouth
If [G]he could take it from the money [D]man?

[Chorus 1]
[Am]Cross-eyed [G]Mary
Goes [Am]jumping in a[G]gain
She [Am]signs no con[G]tract
But she [Am]always plays the [G]game
She [Bbm]dines in [Ab]Hampstead village
On ex[Bbm]pense [Ab]accounted gruel
And the [Bbm]jack-knife bar[Ab]ber
[C]Drops her off at [D]school, [B]hey

[Verse 2]
[Em]Laughing in the playground
Gets no [F]kicks from little boys
Would [G]rather make it with a letching [D]grey
[Em]Or maybe her attention is draw[F]n by Aqualung
Who [G]watches through the railings as [D]they play

[Chorus 2]
[Am]Cross-eyed [G]Mary
Finds it [Am]hard to get [G]along
She's a [Am]poor man's rich [G]girl
And she'll [Am]do it for a s[G]ong
She's a [Bbm]rich man steale[Ab]r
But her [Bbm]favour's good and [Ab]strong
She's the [Bbm]Robin Hood of [Ab]Highgate
Helps the [C]poor man get [D]along, [B]hey

[Verse 3]
[Em]Laughing in the playground
Gets no [F]kicks from little boys
Would [G]rather make it with a letching [D]grey
[Em]Or maybe her attention is draw[F]n by Aqualung
Who [G]watches through the railings as [D]they play

[Chorus 3]

On ex[Bbm]pense [Ab]accounted gruel
And the [Bbm]jack-knife bar[Ab]ber
[C]Drops her off at [D]school, [B]hey
