Tom: C5

C5                                  C5
These are the words of a frontieer lad
C5                                C5
Who lost his love when he turned bad


C5                             F5    G5               C5
Take a message to Marry but don't tell her where I am
C5                        C5   F5     G5           C5
Take a message to Marry but don't say I'm in a jam
C5        A5                 C5
You can tell her I had to see the world
C5    A5              D5       G5
Or tell her that my ship set sail
         C5                    F5       C5
You can say she'd better not wait for me
      A5                    C5
But don't tell her I'm in jail
     C5             G5       C5
Oh don't tell her I'm in jail


C5                        C5   F5     G5                 C5
Take a message to Mary but don't tell her what I've done
C5                                 C5
Please don't mention the stage coach
          F5               G5    C5
and the shot from the careless gun
 C5       A5                  C5
You can tell her I had to change my plans
      A5             D5      G5
and cancel out the wedding day
             C5                 F5    C5
But please don't mention my lonly self
      A5
Where I'm gonna pine away
      C5    G5    C5
Until my dying day


C5                        C5   F5     G5                C5
Take a message to Mary but don't tell her all you know
C5                        C5
My hearts acheing for mary
C5      F5       G5    C5
Lord knows I miss her so
 C5    A5                           C5
Just tell her I went to tim-buck-two
          A5     D5          G5
Tell her I'm searching for gold
         C5                        F5    C5
You can say she'd better find someone new
      A5
To charish and to hold
          C5    G5      C5
Oh Lord this cell is cold


 C5           A5
Mary    Maaaaaaaaa reeeeey
         C5    G5       C5
Oh lord this cell is cold
