E                                 C#m
There's a small town lying by the river..
A            B
halfway to nowhere.
E                                     C#m
Where the trains just stop to take on water..
       A               B
but my girl, she lives there.
    E                      E7
She don't have jewels, she ain't got money..
A                B
but she makes my whole world sunny.
E                E7               A
Wears no make up on her face..but where she is, 
      B
well, that's my place.
    E         F#         A    B
And I'm going home to my girl..

CHORUS:
E        A       B     E            A         B
Wait for me Mary-Anne..please, stay free Mary-Anne.
    E                  F#                B     A
I'm coming home, girl, just as soon as I can..
A
my, my, my Mary-Anne.
E        A        B    E        A         B
Wait for me Mary-Anne..you will see, Mary-Anne..
     E             F#                  B   A
that I was born to be your true lovin' man..
A
my, my, my Mary-Anne.

F                           Dm           Bb
In the city life gets often lonely for a boy 
       C
making good.
         F                          Dm

and to do things you should.
F                F7               Bb

F             F7                  Bb
When the city dulls my eyes..then I'll remember 
C                 F            G          Bb   C
summer skies..and dream of the place..I belong.
