C Am
Mary Ann was a waitress at the circus
F G
Dan was a writer for the Delaware Locale Observer
C Am
Just 21 and just two months out of the service
F G C
Missing half an eyelid so he had to wear a patch
C Am
Mary Ann introduced herself to Dan
F
She said, "do you like the menu
G
Or do you need me to read it to you?"
C Am
Half way angry half turned on and half confused
F G
He took her by the arm and went out back to make a match
And he said....
C Am
"So long to my former life
F G
To a worried life so long
C Am
So long to a harder life
F G C
To a troubled life so long."
C Am
Lying there under the soft glow of the sunrise
F G
The moon was still awake and all the generators lowly humming
C Am
She picked a flower and fastened it on to his bad eye
F
She said, "Come on let's get married
G
I think we might get along."
And she said...
C Am
"So long to my former life
F G
To a worried life so long
C Am
So long to a bitter life
F G C
To a troubled life so long."
C
Dan he was no poet
Am
Couldn't dance he never slept
F
He had nightmares every night
G
Of rain and fire on those bloody beaches
C
Just then the dew dropped
Am
From the flower and he wept
F
Mary Ann you are a melody
G
I think I wrote a song
It goes like...
C Am
"So long to my worried life
F G
To a lonesome life so long
C Am
So long to a wandering life
F G C
To a wounded life so long."
And we all said...
C Am
"So long to those memories
F G
To everything we can't let go so long
C Am
So long to our former selves
F G C
To our selfish selves so long."
