Mary’s Song Chords

D A G D G
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
         D
She said, I was seven and you were nine
  A
I looked at you like the stars that shined
G
In the sky, the pretty lights
        D
And our daddies used to joke about the two of us
A                                      G
Growing up and falling in love and our mamas smiled
                               Em      A
And rolled their eyes and said oh my my my
 
 
[Chorus]
 
        D
Take me back to the house in the backyard tree
           A
Said you’d beat me up, you were bigger than me
    G
You never did, you never did
        D
Take me back when our world was one block wide
  A
I dared you to kiss me and ran when you tried
G
Just two kids, you and I
   D           G D G D G
Oh my my my my
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
D
I was sixteen when suddenly
  A
I wasn’t that little girl you used to see
         G
But your eyes still shined like pretty lights
        D
And our daddies used to joke about the two of us
     A
They never believed we’d really fall in love
        G
And our mamas smiled and rolled their eyes
         Em      A
And said oh my my my…
 
 
[Chorus]
 
        D
Take me back to the creek beds we turned up
A                                 G
Two A.M. riding in your truck and all I need is you next to me
        D
Take me back to the time we had our very first fight
    A
The slamming of doors instead of kissing goodnight
    G
You stayed outside til the morning light
   D           G D G D G
Oh my my my my
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
D
A few years had gone and come around
        A
We were sitting at our favorite spot in town
        G
And you looked at me, got down on one knee
 
 
[Chorus]
 
        D
Take me back to the time when we walked down the aisle
    A
Our whole town came and our mamas cried
    G
You said I do and I did too
        D
Take me home where we met so many years before
      A
We’ll rock our babies on that very front porch
      G
After all this time, you and I
 
 
[Outro]
 
D
I’ll be eighty-seven; you’ll be eighty-nine
           A
I’ll still look at you like the stars that shine
G              Em       D
In the sky, oh my my my
