The Mary Ellen Carter chords by Stan Rogers
Guitar chords with lyrics
This was posted a month or so ago, it sounds right to me, except that
instead of putting the major 7 in the bass on the G/F#, I just play it up
top. I often get lazy, and just play xx0002 there.

(Repeat 2nd Chorus, with feeling on second 'rise again')
Notes: While this sounds OK in standard tuning, it's even better
in DADGAD tuning. This requires lowering the 6th string by a full
tone, the 2nd string by a full tone, and the first by a full tone.
In DADGAD tuning, use the following chords:
G: x50200 (These stretches are easier with the capo)
G/F#: x40200
C: x20000 or 520000
D: x02002
