INTRO: D

#1.
D
For my name just call me lonely and my past, 
              A
just say it's bad.

But the story I'm about to tell you may sound
         D
a little sad.

Well, I never had nothin', all I ever owned 
    G
was pain.
      A                                   D
I was about to lose myself and then I met Mary.

CHORUS:
D
Whoa, my darlin', oh, my darlin' oh, my darlin'..
                                 G
darlin', don't fall in love with me.
             A
Cause I will only make you lonely, lonely just 
     D
like me.

CHORUS:
D
Oh, my darlin', oh, my darlin' oh, my darlin'..
                                   G
darlin', oh, my darlin', can't you see, just say 
A
goodbye, I'll understand dear, and walk away from
D
me.

D
But my darlin' she wouldn't listen, she said, boy, 
          A
shut your mouth.

If two people love each other, they should try to
        D
work it out.
D
So, I listened to my darlin' and my life was filled 
     G             A
with glee, but one night at a party, some bad luck
        D
came to me.

#3.
D
There was a guy dancin' with my darlin' and as he 
                      G                A
danced her across the floor, I heard a scream and I 
                                    D
ran to him because it was my Mary's voice.

He was holdin' to my Mary and I begged him to let 
    G
her be.
            A
All I could hear was my Mary cryin' because he placed
             D
his knife in me.

CHORUS:
D
Oh, my darlin', oh, my darlin' oh, my darlin'..
                                     G
darlin',  darlin', don't you cry for me.
            A
Although my fate just wouldn't wait to show me my
D
destiny.

CHORUS:
D
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid, I will
             G
go where I'm led.
    A
God bless you for standin' by me, and God bless you for
       D
lovin' me.
