Verse:
He said
Am C F E
Oh Mary, contrary how does your gar-den grow?
Am C F E
Come with me, and you'll be, the seventh maid in a row
Am C F E
My answer was laughter soft as I low-ered my head
Am C F E
You're too late, I'm afraid, this flower's al-ready dead
Am C F E
Resetting as I was, with blossoms in full bloom (blossoms in full bloom~)
Am C F E
Never a chance to pause with magic to consume (magic to consume~)
Am C F E
A shadow walked behind me offering his hand
F Dm
But couldn't understand
He said
Am C F E
Oh Mary, contrary how does your gar-den grow?
Am C F E
Come with me, and you'll be the seventh maid in a row
Am C F E
My answer was laughter soft as I low-ered my head
Am C F E
You're too late, I'm afraid this flower's al-ready dead
Interlude:

Verse:
Am C F E
Scattering petals down the road without an end (road without an end~)
Am C F E
Left on the battleground for one I called my friend (one I called my friend~)
Am C F E
Maybe he loved me as he took me by the hand
F Dm
And tried to understand
I said
Am C F E
Oh Mary, contrary how does your gar-den grow?
Am C F E
Stay with me, I can't see anywhere there we could go
Am C F E
Their answer was laughter as darkness swa-llowed them up
Am C F E
One more time, I'll be fine, sometimes kindness is enough
(Change to capo 4th fret)
Am C F E
Oh Mary, contrary how does your gar-den grow?
Am C F E
Don't leave me, please don't be the seventh maid in a row
Am C F E
My answer a whisper soft as he low-ered his head
Amn C F E
Set him free, I'm sorry, this flower's al-ready dead
