Along Comes Mary:The Association.
#7 in '66. (Also done by
The Manhattan Transfer.)

#1.(I play this song on the fifth fret.)
Dm                              Em
Every time I think that I'm the only one who's lonely,
Dm7              Em
someone calls on me.
    Dm                            Em
And every now and then I spend my time at rhyme 
                          Dm7       Em
and verse and curse those faults in me.

CHORUS:
         A           D    A7 D
And then along comes Mary.
             A               D
And does she want to give me kicks, and be my
       A7                D                A D  G C
steady chick and give me pick of mem..or..ies?
E        A             E                  A
Or maybe rather gather tales from all the fails
          E      A           D
and tribulations no one ever sees.
        Gm        Am          
When we met I was sure out to lunch,
             Bb            G
now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch.

#2.
Dm                                   Em
When vague desire is the fire in the eyes of chicks,
      Dm7                        Em
whose sickness is the games they play.
    Dm                                Em
And when the masquerade is played and neighbor folks
                             Dm7     Em
make jokes at who is most to blame today.

CHORUS:
         A           D    A7 D
And then along comes Mary,
             A                D
And does she want to set them free, and let 
     A7                         D       A    D G C
them see reality from where she got her name?
E             A              E              A
And will they struggle much, when told that such 
         E        A                           D
a tender touch of hers will make them not the same?
        Gm        Am
When we met I was sure out to lunch,
             Bb            G
now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch.


#3.(Same chords as #1 & #2.)

And when the morning of the warning's passed,

the gassed and flaccid kids are flung across the stars

the psycho-dramas and the traumas gone.

The songs are left unsung and hung upon the scars..

CHORUS:(Same chords as Chorus)

And then along comes Mary,

And does she want to see the stains, the dead remains

of all the pains she left the night before?

Or will their waking eyes, reflect the lies, and make 

them realize their urgent cry for sight no more?

When we met I was sure out to lunch,

Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch.

ADD:
             Dm                 Em
Sweet as the punch(sweet as the punch.)
             Dm7                 Em
Sweet as the punch (sweet as the punch.)
             Am
Sweet as the punch.

A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
