Mary Contrary
Can
Monster Movie (1969)
As usual, just an interpretation
I noticed they didn't have chords
for the song alone up
Intro: C C/E Dm G
Am D C Dm A
Mary, oh Mary, so quite contrary,
D C Dm A
How does your garden grow?
A D C
These silver bells and cockle shells
Dm A
And pretty men all in our room,
D C
When you see contrary Mary,
D Am
Told her eye, refuse to terry.
D C
We spoke very soft and slow
Dm
Without your pretty men, Mary,
A
Standing in a row.
D C Dm A
Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary.
D C A# C (Guitar Solo)

Smoke a high cool cigarette,
C
Turn around and then we left,
Smiling as the way began to grow,

We got your pretty men all in a row.

Mary, Mary, so quite contrary,

How does your garden grow?

These silver bells and cockle shells

Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary,
Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary,
Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary,
Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary.
When you see contrary Mary,
Told her eye, refuse to terry.
We spoke very soft and slow,
Am
We got your pretty men standing in a row.
