Art Garfunkel - Mary Was an Only Child
INTRO: Em
D G D G C G Bm
Mary was an only child
G D D7
Nobody held her, nobody smiled
Em B7
She was born in a trailer, wretched and poor
Em Am Em B7 Em
And she shone like a gem in a five-and-dime store
Em Am Em B7 Em
D G D G C G Bm
Mary had no friends at all
G D D7
Just famous faces pinned to the wall
Em B7
All of them watched her, none of them saw
Em Am Em B7 Em
That she shone like a gem in a five-and-dime store
INSTRUMENTAL:
Em Am Em B7 Em
Saxophone Break
Em Am Em B7 Em
D G D G C G Bm
And if you watch the stars at night
G D D7
And you find them shining equally bright
Em B7
You might have seen Jesus, and not have known what you saw
Em Am Em B7 Em
Who would notice a gem in a five-and-dime store?
OUTRO: Em Am Em B7 Em
