Tom: E
E A
[Verse 1]
A E
For my name, just call me lonely, and my past, just say it's bad.
A
But the story I'm about to tell you may sound a little sad.
E
I never had nothing. All I ever owned was me.
A
I was about to lose myself, and then I met Mary.
[Chorus]
A D
Oh, my darling. Oh, my darling. Oh, my darling. Darling don't you cry for me.
E A
'Cause I will only make you lonely. Lonely just like me.
D
Oh, my darling. Oh, my darling. Oh, my darling. Oh, my darling now can't you see?
E A
Just say goodbye; I'll understand it. And walk away from me.
[Verse 2]
A E
But my darling, she wouldn't listen. She said boy, you shut your mouth.
A
If two people really love each other, they should try to work it out.
B D
So I listened to my Mary, and my life was filled with glee.
E A
But one night at a party, some bad luck came to me.
D
There was a guy messing with my Mary, and I begged him to let her be.
E A
All I could hear was my Mary crying because he placed his knife in me.
[Chorus]
A D
Oh, my darling. Oh, my darling. Oh, my darling. Darling don't you cry for me.
E A
'Cause I will only make you lonely. Lonely just like me.
D
Oh, my darling. Oh, my darling. Oh, my darling. Oh, my darling now can't you see?
E A
Just say goodbye; I'll understand it. And walk away from me.
E A
Just say goodbye; I'll understand it. And walk away from me.
