CHORUS:
[A#] Hello Mary Lou,
[D#] goodbye heart,
Sweet
[A#] Mary Lou, I'm so in love with

So hel-
[C7]-lo Mary
[F7] Lou, goodbye

VERSE 1:
[A#] Past me by one sunny day,
[D#] flashed those big brown eyes my way,
and
[A#] ooh I knew I wanted you for ever-
[F7]-more.
Now
[A#] I'm not one that gets around;
[D#] swear my feet stuck to the ground,
And
[A#] though I never did
[F7] need you before,
[A#] [D#] [A#] I said
REPEAT CHORUS:
INSTRUMENTAL: [over CHORUS]
VERSE 2:
[A#] I saw your lips; I heard your voice, be-
[D#]-lieve me I just had no choice;
Wild
[A#] horses couldn't make me stay a-
[F7]-way.
I
[A#] thought about a moon lit night, my
[D#] arms around you good and tight,
That's
[A#] all I had to see
[F7] for me to say,
[A#] [D#] [A#] hey, hey

Yes
[A#] Hello Mary
[F] Lou, goodbye
[A#] heart
[D#] [A#] [F] [A# open]
