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

[Chorus]
             C#m                      F#m7
Mary was the girl who taught me all I had to know
       D                    E
Put me right on my first mistake
              C#m                         F#m
Summer wasn't gone when I learned all she had to show
F#m7    D                    E      E
 Really gave all a boy could take

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

                   Lying in the arms of Mary
