Song: Mary's Prayer
By:   Danny Wilson
 
[verse: 1]
                 |F {piano} |G              |Asus4     |Am
Everything is wonderful,       Being here is heavenly
             |F            |G               |Asus4     |Am
Every single day she says,   Everything is  free
                |F         |G                 |Asus4    |Am
I used to be so careless,    As if I couldn't care less
              |F                 |G            |C  Csus4  |C  {let ring}
Did I have to make mistakes, When I was Mary's prayer

[verse: 2]
             |F [band kicks in} |G                    |Asus4    | Am
Suddenly the heavens rolled,        Suddenly the rain came down
             |F           |G                |Asus4   |Am
Suddenly was washed away,    The Mary that I knew
            |F                   |G                    |Asus4       |Am
So when you find somebody you'll keep, think of me and celebrate
              |F                |G           |C  Csus4   |C {let ring}
I made such a big mistake, When I was Mary's Prayer
 
[chorus:]
            |F   G   |Em  Am   |F                 |C
So if I say save me  save me,  Be the light in my eyes
             |F   G   |Em Am   |F                  |Bb           |Bb
And if I say ten Hail  Ma-rys, Leave a light on in heaven, for me
 
[verse: 3]
               |F              |G                    |Asus4       |Am
Blessed is the one who shares,    The power and your beauty, Mary
                   |F       |G                       |Asus4    |Am
Blessed is the millionaire    who shares your wedding day
            |F                   |G                    |Asus4    |Am
So when you find somebody you'll keep, think of me and celebrate
              |F               |G           |C  Csus4    |C {let ring}
I made such a big mistake, when I was Mary's Prayer
 
[chorus:]
            |F   G   |Em  Am   |F                 |C
So if I say save me  save me,  Be the light in my eyes
             |F   G  |Em Am   |F                  |G
And if I say ten Hail Ma-rys, Leave a light on in heaven
            |F   G   |Em   Am   |F                 |C
            Save me  save me,  Be the light in my eyes
             |F   G   |Em Am  |F                   |Bb           |Bb
And if I say ten Hail  Ma-rys, Leave a light on in heaven, for me
 
[verse: 4]
                |F            |G                      |Asus4      |Am
If you want the fruit to fall,   You have to give the tree a shake
                     |F            |G                     |Asus4   |Am
But if you shake the tree too hard,    The bough is gonna break
 
[bridge:]
               |Dm                  |Bb
And if I can't reach the top of the tree
             |Asus4     |Am
Mary you can hold me up there
                |F               |G           |C  Csus4   |C {let ring}
What I wouldn't give to be, When I was Mary's prayer
 
[chorus:]
            |F   G   |Em  Am   |F                 |C
So if I say save me  save me,  Be the light in my eyes
             |F   G  |Em Am   |F                  |G
And if I say ten Hail Ma-rys, Leave a light on in heaven
            |F   G   |Em   Am   |F                 |C
            Save me  save me,  Be the light in my eyes
             |F   G  |Em Am   |F                  |G
And if I say ten Hail Ma-rys, Leave a light on in heaven
            |F   G   |Em   Am   |F                 |C
            Save me  save me,  Be the light in my eyes
 
[coda:]
                |F              |G           |C  Csus4   |C
What I wouldn't give to be, When I was Mary's prayer
                |F              |G            |C  Csus4  |C
What I wouldn't give to be, When I was Mary's prayer
                |F {let ring}   |G {strum}    |C  Csus4  |C   |finish}
What I wouldn't give to be, When I was Mary's prayer
