Lovely Mary Anne The Harrington Brothers
[Intro]
G D C D G
[Chorus]
G D
Lovely Mary Anne, you’re the dream of any man
Em G
With your laughing eyes and captivating smile
G D
Lovely Mary Anne, let me love you while I can
C D G
Come and listen to me sing to you awhile
[Verse]
G D
I was playing my guitar in a dirty Dublin bar
G C
When first I saw her look at me and smile
G D
But the gig it didn't last and the summer went so fast
C G
But the love we had still lingers in my mind
G D
How could I forget the moment that we met
Em C
And the life that might have been with you and me
G D
it's only now I know, I should have let the music flow
C D G
love blinded me so much I couldn’t see
Repeat Chorus
[Verse]
G D
Now I’m 63 years old and I know that I’ve been told
Em C
You should never leave the best thing in your life
G D
But that was 40 years ago and how was I to know
C G
That she was the one I should have made my wife
G D
If I saw you today would it matter any way
Em C
Would I recognize your captivating smile
G D
I still see you Mary Anne, every time I sing this song
C D G
But it’s only in the dreams of this old man
Repeat Chorus
C D G
But it’s only in the dreams of this old man
[Outro]
C D G
