[Verse 1]
A                 E
 The lights shine down the valley
A               D
 The wind blows up the alley
A                     E                    A      D  Dm
Oh well I wish I was, lyin' in the arms of Mary

[Verse 2]
A             E
 She took the pains of boyhood
A                D
 And turned them into feel good
A                  E                    A
Oh how I wish was, lyin' in the arms of Mary

[Chorus]
             C#m                      F#m
Mary was the gal who taught me, all I had to know
           D                    E
She put me right on my first mistake
              C#m                            F#m
Summer wasn't gone when I'd learned, all she had to show
           D                    E
She really gave all a boy could take,  o'ho

[Verse 3]
A             E
So now when I get lonely
A                     D
Still lookin' for the one and only
A                         E                    A      Dm
That's when I wish I was, lyin' in the arms of Mary

She really gave all a boy could ta-ake

B                 F#7
 The lights shine down the valley
B               E
 The wind blows up the alley

Oh well I wish I was, lyin' in the arms of Mary

[Coda]
E            F#      G#m   E            F#      G#m
Lyin' in the arms of Mary, lyin' in the arms of Mary
E     F#    G#m     E       F#      G#m
Mh,   mh,   mh..     in the arms of Mary

Mh,   mh,   mh..    oh in the arms of Mary
