C Em These are the words of a frontier lad Am G Who lost his love when he turned bad. C Take a message to Mary F G C But don't tell her where I am Take a message to Mary F G C But don't say I'm in a jam. Chorus: Am Em You can tell her that I had to see the world Am D G Tell her that my ship set sail C G F C You can say she'd better not wait for me Am But don't tell her I'm in jail C G C Oh don't tell her I'm in jail. Take a message to Mary But don't tell her what I've done Please don't mention the stagecoach An' the shot from a careless gun. Chorus: You can tell her that I changed my plans An' cancel out the weddin' day But don't mention my lonely cell Where I'm gonna pine away Until my dyin' day. Take a message to Mary But don't tell all you know My heart is achin' for Mary Lord knows I miss her so. Chorus: Just tell her that I went to Timbuktu Tell that I'm searchin' for gold You can say she'd better find someone new To cherish an' to hold Oh Lord, this cell is cold. | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsAm  C  D  Em  F  G  B  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
