***************************************
So I searched and searched and could not find this tab anywhere online.

Don't you hate when that happens? This is totally a work in progress...

I found a really simple way to play it to the satisfaction of my girlfriend
It fits the melody but it is really over-simplified.
If anybody can give me some help on variations it would be nice.
I actually didn't even listen to the song to get the actual key.
I just sang it in my natural way. I mean who doesn't know this song by heart
I welcome criticism and challenge someone else to do better seriously...

I'm in love with Mary Jane.    She's my main thing.

Dmaj7                        Em7
She makes me feel alright.  She makes my heart sing.

Dmaj7                      Em7
And when I'm feeling low, She comes as no surprise.

Dmaj7                       Em7             G      Em7
Turns me on with her love. Takes me to paradise.

Now, now, now.                      (Repeat Likewise)

I'm in love with Mary Jane.
I'm not the only one.
If Mary wanna play around,
I let her have her fun.
She's not the kind of girl
that you can just tie down.
She likes to spread her love
and turn your head around.

Do you love me, Mary Jane?
Yeah. Whoa-oh-oh.
Do ya? Do ya? Do ya? Do ya? Do ya? Do ya?
Now do you think you love me Mary Jane.
Don't you play no games.

Yeahhhhh! Ooowoooo.
Oh baby. Oh baby. Hit me.
Whoah, Mary. Only love.
I love you, yeah. Whooo!
Something until we give it now, lovey-dove.
Uh-huh. Wow, baby!
Sing! La-du-da-da-du-da-dahh.
Sing! La-du-da-da-du-da-dahh.
Sing it for me baby.
Come Mary, Mary Jane.
Sing it for me baby.
