    so Hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart. 
 
             G                  
1. You passed me by one sunny day, 
 
      C 
    flashed those big brown eyes my way, 
 
              G                                       D 
    And , oh, I wanted you forever more. 
 
             G 
    Now I'm not one that gets around, 
 
          C 
    I swear my feet stuck to the ground, 
 
            G              D                       G 
    And so I never did meet you before.    + Chorus 
 
        G 
2. I saw your lips I heard your voice, 
 
         C 
    believe me I just had no choice 
 
             G                                                D 
    wild horses couldn't make me stay away. 
 
         G 
   I thought about a moonlit night, 
 
           C 
   my arms around you, girl, so tight, 
 
             G                D                   G 
   that's all I had to see for me to say.  
 
  
 
                                 A             D                     G 
+ Chorus  + so hello, Mary Lou, goodbye heart.
