I Haven't Seen Mary in Years Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Whi[D]le [G]walkin' one
day in the country
[C]I saw a gatherin' [G]crowd
And [C]as my footsteps drew me [G]closer
I could smell the sweet
fragrance [D]of flowers
[G]It looked like a family reunion
Had [C]my eyes not counted the [G]tears
And an [C]old man sat by a [G]graveside
I haven't seen [D]Mary in [G]years

[Verse 2]
[C]Hold my hand and [G]lead me
[C]Lead me away [G]from here
I [C]just brought these flowers for [G]Mary
I haven't seen [D]Mary in years
[G][D][G]

[Verse 3]
When Mary and I were first married
[C]We had such plans for our [G]child
But for [C]no reason I started ram[G]blin'
Like the four winds, I just ran [D]wild
[G]If I could live my life over
I'd [C]bring my Mary such [G]cheer
Now she's [C]gone where
she'll never [G]see me
And I haven't seen [D]Mary in [G]years

[Verse 4]
[C]Hold my hand and [G]lead me
[C]Lead me away from [G]here
I [C]just brought these flowers for [G]Mary
I haven't seen [D]Mary

[Interlude 1]
in years
[G][C][G][C][G][D][G]

[Verse 5]
And [G]when the old man left the graveside
I [C]walked along by his [G]side
[C]I called out his name,
but [G]through all his shame
His son, he could [D]not recog[G]nize

[Verse 6]
[C]Hold my hand and [G]lead me
[C]Lead me away [G]from here
Oh, [C]how could I known it was [G]Mama
I haven't seen [D]Mama in years
[G]
