[Intro]
C5 D5 D5 D5 C5 B5 A4 F5 (4x)
[Verse 1]
D
For the sake of Mary I kicked the reds
F
Junked the juice, I drink coffee instead
D
Straightened my teeth, bent my back
F
Cut my friends dead from the old rat-pack,
D5
for Mary (2x)
[Verse 2]
D
She bought me this silk suit, watch and chain
F
She put the rhythm in my stride again
D
She showed me the way to make her feel good
F
If I could do more then I surely would,
D5
for Mary.
D5
Ah Mary
[Chorus]
G
For the sake of Mary I played my hand
D
She still don't trust me to be her man
G
I say the right thing but my timing's bad
Am G
She thinks I'm like the rest, but I'm the best she's ever had
