[G] Mary Provis did [C] not look [D] her best
[G]
The day the cops bust [C] into her [D] lonely nest
[G] In that cheap [Em] hotel up on Hollywood [C] West July [D] 29
[G] She'd been [C] lying there for two [D] and a half [G] weeks
Neighbors said they [C] never [D] heard a [G] squeak
Her hungry [Em] eyes that could not sleep
[C] Said even little [D] doggies have got to eat
She [G] was the winner
That became the [C] doggie's dinner
[Am] She never meant that [G] much to me [C] Whoa!
[D] [G] Hurry!
[C]
[G] [D] [G] Mary Provis [C] was a [D] big queen
[G] Mysterious angel [C] of the silent [D] street
[G] And one like the window [Em]-licious young Maxine
[C] When Mary [D] crossed the silent street
[G] Oh, she came out [C] west, back [D] to Bjarke [G] But when the doggies came, [C] Marie [D] just couldn't
go [G] Her puppies [Em] said Marie'd take a walk
[C] All the [D] way back to Bjarke She [G] was a winner
That became the [C] doggies' leader
[Am] She never meant [G] that much to me But now [C] I [D] see
[G] Poor Marie, [C] [G] [D] [G]
[Em] [C]
[G] [D] [G]
[D] [Em] [C]
[G] [D] [G] those quib [C] files didn't [D] help her sleep
[G] As her nights grew [C] long and her days [D] grew [G] bleak
It's all downhill [Em] once you've passed your peak
[C] Marie got [G] ready for [D] that last big sleep
[G] The cops came in [C] and they looked [D] around
[G] Throwing up everywhere [C] over what they'd [D] found
[G] The heavy work [Em] on Marie's little dachshund
[C] That hungry [D] little dachshund
[G] She was a winner
That became the [C] doggies' leader
[Am] She never meant [G] that much to me
[C] Oh, [D] [G] poor Marie
