It was a fine day in the fifth grade
D G G/F# Em7
when Mary May let Bobby walk her home from school
D G G/F# Em7 A7sus4
he had her books in hand and he was listening to every word she said
D G G/F# Em7 A7sus4
like it was the gospel of the prophecies
Em7 G/F# G A7sus4
and he loved the way her hair fell across her dress
Em7 G/F#
went home singing who wrote the book of love
G A7sus4
and try a little tenderness
D - G - G/F# - Em7 x2
D G G/F#
the next day on the playground
Em7 A7sus4 D G G/F# Em7 A7sus4
bobby sat Mary down on the swingset behind the sandbox
Em7 G/F# G A7sus4
and she said, Bobby i just wanna play
Em7 G/F# G A7sus4
so what is it you have to say?
Chorus:
D Em7 G A7sus4
He said, mary, marry me.
D Em7 G A7sus4
we could live out by the sea
D Em7 G A7sus4
like they do on the movie screen.
D Em7 G A7sus4
oh, marry me, mary may, before you go back to play
D - G - G/F# - Em7 x2
D G G/F# Em7
It was graduation day.
D G G/F# Em7 A7sus4
They were waiting on a plane to take Mary away.
D G G/F# Em7 A7sus4
Said, "There's nothing left for me here but you.
Em7 G/F# G A7sus4
Bobby, I hope that you can find yourself through.
D G G/F# Em7 A7sus4
There's so much that I wish to know,
D G G/F# Em7 A7sus4
and I have to do this on my own
D G G/F# Em7 A7sus4
and I hope that you can understand.
Em7 G/F# G A7sus4
Bobby, write me when you can.
D G G/F# Em7
He said, "Take my high school ring,
A7sus4 D G G/F# Em7 A7sus4
so time to time now you can think of me
Em7 G/F# G A7sus4
and there's just one more thing before you leave..."
D Em7 G A7sus4
He said, mary, marry me.
D Em7 G A7sus4
we could live out by the sea
D Em7 G A7sus4
like they do on the movie screen.
D Em7 G A7sus4
oh, marry me, mary may, before you up and fly away

D - G - G/F# - Em7 (keep strumming Em7 for A couple more beats)
D G G/F# Em7
There's so much time has passed since that day
D G G/F# Em7
and Mary stopped writing years ago
D G G/F# Em7
and Bobby never took his music on the road.
D G G/F# Em7
Guess he never really gave up hope.
D G G/F# Em7 A7sus4
Now Mary she's got everything she thought she wanted
D G G/F# Em7 A7sus4
got a Ph.D., she is an independent business woman
D G G/F#
climbing up the corporate ladder
Em7 A7sus4
though it really don't seem to matter,
D G G/F# Em7 A7sus4
she is lonely beyond belief.
Em7 G/F# G
So one day she went home
A7sus4 Em7 G/F# G A7sus4 (strum A couple of times)
looking for the only love she'd ever known.
D G G/F# Em7
She found him once again,
D G G/F# Em7
playing a circuit at the Holiday Inn,
A7sus4 D G G/F#
still singing the song about the one he lost
Em7
long ago.
A7sus4 D G G/F# Em7 A7sus4
Just goes to show, you never know.
Em7 G/F# G
She took his hand in hers
A7sus4 Em7 G/F# G A7sus4
not everything she had planned and rehearsed.
D Em7 G
She said, "Bobby, marry me.
A7sus4 D Em7 G
We could live in a apartment building with a window view.
A7sus4 D Em7
We could take in movies on the weekend
G A7sus4
while planning our vacation.
D Em7
Take a honeymoon by the sea.
G A7sus4 D G G/F# Em7
Oh Bobby, won't you just marry me?
A7sus4 D G G/F# Em7
Won't you just marry me?
A7sus4 D G G/F# Em7 A7sus4
Oh please, marry me."
