D                        G   G/F#   Em7 
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# 
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? 


         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 
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."
