_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Take a message to Mary, _ but [B] don't [E] tell her where I am
_ _ Take a message to Mary, _ [G#m] [D#] but don't say I'm [E] in a dream
_ You [C#m] can tell her I [G#m] had to see the world, [C#m] or tell her [F#] that my ship [B] set sail
You [E] can say she better [A] not [E] wait for me, [C#m] but don't tell her [B] [C#m] I'm in a dream
_ [E] Oh, don't tell her I'm in jail
_ _ Take a message to Mary, _ [G#m] but don't [A] tell her [E] what I've done
_ _ Please don't mention the stagecoach [B] and the shot from a careless [E]
gun

day
_ [E] But please don't mention [A] my lonely [E] cell [C#m] where I'm gonna pine away
_ Until my [E] dying _ day
_ Take a message to Mary, [B] but don't tell her all [E] you know

_ [C#m] Just tell her I [G#m] went to _ Timbuktu, [C#m] tell her [F#] I'm searching [B] for gold
[G#m] You can say she'd better [A] find [E] someone new [C#m] to cherish [B] [C#m] and to hold
Oh [E] Lord, this cell is cold _ _ _ _
Mary, _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _
Mary, _ _ [E] Oh Lord, [G#m]
this [B] cell is cold
