For the Sake of Mary Richard Thompson
Intro: C D C C\B C\A F (4X)
For the [D]sake of Mary I kicked the reds
[F]Junked the juice, I drink coffee instead
[D]Straightened my teeth, bent my back
F Intro
Cut my friends dead from the old rat-pack, for Mary
She bought me this silk suit, watch and chain
She put the rhythm in my stride again
She showed me the way to make her feel good
If I could do more then I surely would, for Mary. Ah, for Mary.
For the [G]sake of Mary I played my hand
She [D]still don't trust me to be her man
I [G]say the right thing but my timing's bad
She [Am]thinks I'm like the rest, but I'm the best she's ever ha[G]d
Intro
For the sake of Mary, for the sake of Mary
Oh I was cook first class on the Belfast B
But when she sailed she sailed without me
In Needle Pete's I got my last tattoo
In bleeding letters of red and blue for Mary. Ah, for Mary
For the sake of Mary I changed my drift
I got a good job on the graveyard shift
She set her heart on a pretty little place
I want to see the tears of joy on her face, oh-oh
For the sake of Mary
Instrumental part: Bb C D C C\B C\A F (2X)
For the sake of Mary I keep the flame
I don't want to be a villain again
She had her bad times and it shook her about
I don't want to take the easy way out, no, no
For the sake of Mary...
