[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 weeks, [G] neighbors said [C] they never [D] heard her squeak.
[G] Her hungry [Em] eyes that could not speak, [C] said even little doggies [D] are coggy.
She [G] was the winner that became the [C] doggies' dinner, [Am] she never meant that much [G] to me.
Oh, [C] [D] what [G] a party!
[C]
[G] [D] [G] Mary Provoc [C] was a big [D] queen,
[G] Mysterious angel of [C] the Silent [D] Spree,
[G] And run like the [Em] Wendell Ish's young next [C] theme,
When Mary [D] crossed the Silent Spree.
[G] Oh, she came [C] out west from New [D] York,
[G] But when the Tarkies [C] came, her reach was [D] pretty [G] low,
Her public [Em] sempery'd take a while,
[C] All the way [D] back to New York,
She [G] was a winner,
That became [C] the Tarkin's leader.
[Am] She never meant that [G] much to me,
But [C] now I see,
[D] [G] Oh Marie,
[C]
[G]
[Em] [C]
[G] [D] [G] [D]
[Em] [C] [G]
[D] [G] Those quill [C] bombs didn't [D] help you sleep,
[G] As the nights grew [C] long and the days [D] grew bleak,
[G] It's all downhill [Em] once you've passed your peak,
[C] Marie got [G] ready for [D] that last big sneak,
[G] The cops came in and [C] they looked [D] around,
[G] Throwing up everywhere [C] over what [D] they'd found,
[G] That heavy work [Em] on Marie's little dachshund,
[C] That hungry [D] little dachshund,
She [G] was a winner,
That became the [C] Tarkin's leader.
[Am] She never meant that [G] much to me,
[C] Oh, [D] what a [G] party!
[C]
[G] [D] Oh [G] Marie,
[C] [G]
[D] Oh [G] Marie,
[C] [G]
[D] Oh, [G] oh Marie,

[D] [G] Oh Marie.
