Song: Sweet Mary Artist: Equalizer Tabbed by: Liohn Sherer (liohn@sympatico.ca) Heythere, all youse with the good music taste out there. I love this song. And no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't find the tabs, or chords, or anything for it online. So I took it upon myself to figure it out, well, myself. The only problem, though, is that I don't know how to play guitar. Well, I started to teach myself at the end of August, and it's now early November. Anyway, that was long and rambling, as I tend to do. Here's what I came up with for Sweet Mary, and I think it's pretty accurate. I can't tell you how to strum it properly. In fact, if you can figure out how, please let me know. Thanks. Enjoy. Also, if there's any corrections, thank yous, complaints, or anything of the sort, please let me know at my e-mail. thanks. (I hope i did this right)

It was the ^Gyear of our father ^C9nineteen hundred and^G seventy six in ^DJA, when I ^Amfirst met my Mary, ^Cquite contrary to ^Gwhat my mother did ^Dsay. ^AmShe was a m^Gountain girl come to S^C9panish town, I was o^Gnly there for a w^Dhile, but when I ^Amthink back on all the ^Clove we shared I ^Gjust can't but help to ^Dsmile. We spent ^Gone whole long ^Dyear tog^C9ether and at the ^Gend I had to ^Dgo. By my ^AmMary's side I ^Cwept and cried, I'd ^Gnever been laid so ^Dlow. She said &^Gquot;Boy when^D you first^C9 met me you wer^Ge as green as a m^Dango tree oooo, ^Amnow you are a man go ^Cback to your land, but ^Gfirst listen careful^Dly"

CHORUS:

you can ^Gsmoke two pounds of cali ^C9herb by yourself and ^Gtry to stand on your ^Dhead no matter ^Amhow high you get you'll ^Cnever forget the ^Gwonders of ^DMary's ^Gbed.

Now my ^GMary's sweet smell was ^C9in my nose and ^Gvision it robbed me ^Dblind. And as I ^Amcrossed the sea it oc^Ccured to me that i'd ^Gleft myself be^Dhind. She was my ^Gnatural mystic ^C9sweet sugar plumb I still ^Gask why did I ^Dgo They say your ^Amfirst loves your ^Chardest love, and I'd ^Ghave to say that's ^Dso. And it's a ^Gday and another day and a ^C9way and another way Had a ^Gfamily once, but they're ^Dgone And it don't ^Amstrike me as weird there's ^Cgrey in my beard but the ^Gwords still linger ^Don.

CHORUS The song continues like that, I'm not gonna bother tabbing the last verse, you can figure it out yourself. Except for the last line:

You never ^Amknow what you've got in t^Chis cruel world until you ^Grealize it's ^Dgone. ^G ^C9 ^G
