Take a Message to Mary
as performed by Bob Dylan



(C)These are the words of a (Em7)frontier lad
Who l(Am)ost his love when (G7)he turned bad 
(C - G7 - F - C - Am - - - C - G7 - C)

(C)Take a message to Mary
But (F)don't tell her (G7)where I (C)am
Take a message to Mary
But (F)don't say (G7)I'm  in (C)jail
   You can (Am)tell her that I had to (Em7) see the world
   (Am)Tell her that my (D)ship set (G7)sail
   You can (C)say she'd (G7)better not (F)wait for (C)me
   But (Am)don't tell her (Em7)I'm in (Am)jail
   Oh (C)don't tell her (G7)I'm in (C)jail

Take a message to Mary
But (F)don't tell her (G7)what I've (C)done
Please, don't  mention the stagecoach
And the (F)shot from a (G7)carried (C)gun
   You (Am)better tell her that I had to (Em7)change my plans
   And (Am)cancel out the (D)wedding (G7)day
   But (C)please, don't (G7)mention  the (F)lonely (C)cell
   Where (Am)I'm gonna(Em7) pine a(Am)way
   Un(C)til my (G7)dying (C)day

Take a message to Mary
But (F)don't tell her (G7)all you (C)know
My heart is aching for Mary
Lord (F)knows I (G7)miss her (C)so
   Just (Am)tell her that I went to (Em7)Timbuktoo
   (Am)Tell her I was (D)searching for (G7)gold
   You can (C)say she (G7)better find (F)someone (C)new
   To (Am)cherish (Em7)and to (Am)hold
   Oh (C)Lord, this (G7)cell is so (C)cold
