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)
G
Hello Mary Lou,
C
Good-bye heart,
G D7/F# Amadd11/F#
Sweet Mary Lou I'm so in love with you,
G
I knew Mary Lou,
Bm Em
We'd never part,
G D
So hello Mary Lou,
G
Good-bye heart!
G
She passed me by one sunny day,
C
Flashed those big brown eyes my way,
G D7 Amadd11
And oooh, I wanted you forever more,
G
I'm not one who gets around,
C
Swear my feet stuck to the ground,
G D G
And though I never did meet you before,
