Hello Mary Lou Tab

Hello Mary Lou
By Rick Nelson (aka Ricky Nelson)
As interpreted by Joe G


Play with a Capo on 2.
Despite its scary name, Amadd11 is actually a really easy chord (XX0210).  It's just 
Dm7 but leave the high E open.
Amadd11/F# is almost as easy, put your thumb on the F# (2X0210)

   
Hello Mary Lou,

Good-bye heart,
                                    Amadd11/
Sweet Mary Lou I'm so in love with you,
  
I knew Mary Lou,
         
We'd never part,
             
So hello Mary Lou,
         
Good-bye heart!


    
She passed me by one sunny day,

Flashed those big brown eyes my way,
                                Amadd11
And oooh, I wanted you forever more,
    
I'm not one who gets around,

Swear my feet stuck to the ground,
                              
And though I never did meet you before,



Hello Mary Lou,

Good-bye heart,
                                    Amadd11/
Sweet Mary Lou I'm so in love with you,
  
I knew Mary Lou,
         
We'd never part,
             
So hello Mary Lou,
         
Good-bye heart!

  
I saw your lips I heard your voice
  
Believe me I just had no choice
                                   Amadd11/
Wild horses couldn't make me stay away
  
I thought about a moonlit night

Arms around you good and tight
                                
That's all I had to see for me to say:

                          
"Hey, hey, hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart
                                    Amadd11/
Sweet Mary Lou I'm so in love with you!
                         
I knew Mary Lou, we'd never part
                         
So hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart!


                           
Yes, hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart!
                      
Hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart!"
