Intro: D A D A 


D            
Crazy Mary from London Berry 
C# 
Lives next door to the cemetery 
C 
How many lovers have you buried 
G 
We would shout, running scared 
D         C#        B 
Along the green and golden paths 
     A             C         C#    D    A 
That took us home, away from Crazy Mary. 

D 
In the lamplight burning low 
C# 
Dimly through enchanted woods 
C 
She rocks beside the fire that never was lit 
G                D  C# B 
And as we ran on by 
                 A 
Pretending to be frightened 
                              D    A 
We'd shout and laugh at Crazy Mary. 

D 
She would never answer us 
C# 
Smiled through the window softly 
C 
Wild-eyed and wild-haired but we were sure 
G                   D 
That in the dark of night 
    C#        B                A 
She cursed us soundly, casting spells 
                    C#   D 
And such to turn us into donkeys. 


D 
So it seems that older now 
C# 
We stand upon this wind-swept moor 
C 
The lonely grave before us 
G                                   D      C# B 
Testifies that Crazy Mary sings and dreams 
   B 
He dreams somewhere 
    A                C        C#     D     A 
But not where little kids can follow after 
D               
And on the stone, these words, dear friend 
C# 
Please write me down as one who loved 
C 
The raven-haired and laughing lads 
G 
That swore that they would marry me 
    D          C#                C 
And soon their sons came running by 
                           C#    D     A 
And here I lie, forgotten, Crazy Mary. 

Chorus 
D A
