Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

(Verse1)

The light shines down the valley

The wind blows up the alley

Oh, and how I wish I was lying in the arms of Mary

(Verse)

She took the pains of boyhood

And turned them into feel good

Oh, and how I wish was lying in the arms of Mary

 (Chorus)

Mary was the girl who taught me all I had to know

She put me right on the first mistake

 Summer wasn't gone when I'd learned all she had to show

 She really gave all a boy could take, yeah

(Verse3)

So now when I get lonely

Still lookin' for the one and only

That's when I wish I was lying in the arms of Mary

(Chorus)

Instrumental interlude

(Chorus)

(Verse1)

The light shines down the valley

The wind blows up the alley

Oh, and how I wish I was lying in the arms of Mary

Oh, and wish I was lying in the arms of Mary
