Mary Jackson Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Run, cancel [F#]all of your pre
[Bm]vious appointment[A]s
[D]And [G]go [C]tell [F#]the girls you'll
be [E]go ing [A]away
[D]Thank mom and dad
[F#m]for the good t[Bm]imes they gave you[D]
But [G]don't [C]look back, Mary [D]Jackson
Store up your book[F#m]s in a
[Bm]box in the base[D]ment
And [G]tie up your hair
[Bm]in the back like[E] you do
[A]To [D]him, say farewell
[F#m]if he mig[Bm]ht feel forgotten[D]
But [G]don't look back,
[C]Mary Jac[D]kson[G][D][Bm]
We got married but maybe too soon
Cause [A]soon you said love was dead
And I'd have to [G]make it alone
Out on my own [F#sus4]in the world [F#]again
I [Bm]married a child
but soon she went wild
When the [A]woman came through
Forgot all the beautiful thing[G]s she knew
But tell me, was I so bad [F#sus4]to you?[F#]
[G]The [D]mailbox is [F#m]empty at
[Bm]Sheraton Apartment[A]s
The [G]traffic roars loud as the
[E]night's creepin' [A]in
A [D]cold TV din[F#m]ner
is [Bm]freezing my fin[D]gers
My [G]thoughts turn to Mary [Bm]again[E][A][D]
[F#m][Bm][D][G][Bm][E][A][D][F#m]
[Bm]My t[D]houghts tu[G]rn t[C]o me[G]rry [F#m]again[E]
You
