Words & Music by Johnny Cymball & Mike Lendell
Recorded by Al Martino, 1967 (#27)


D                  Em7    F#m        G
Nothing's quite as pretty    as Mary in the morning

Bm               G            E              A
When through a sleepy haze I see her lying there.

D            Em7 F#m                G
Soft as the rain    that falls on summer flowers

Bm           G                E              A
Warm as the sunlight shining on her golden hair.


Bm  F#m  Bm F#m Bm   F#m      Bm      Bm7/E    A
When I awake     and see her there so close beside me,

Bm F#m     Bm F#m Bm    F#m     Bm
I want to take       her in my arms

   Bm7/E     E       E7      A       G  F#m  Em7
The ache is there so deep inside me.


D                  Em7    F#m        G
Nothing's quite as pretty     as Mary in the morning,

Bm       G                E            A
Chasing rainbows in her dreams so far away.

D              Em7             F#m             G
And when she turns to touch it,    I kiss her face so softly.

Bm     G              E            A
And my Mary wakes to love another day.

Bm  F#m        Bm  F#m Bm    F#m    Bm      Bm7/E  A
And Ma - ry's there       in sunny days or stormy weather.

Bm   F#m     Bm  F#m Bm      F#m       Bm
She doesn't care,     'cause right or wrong, 

    Bm7/E     E    E7             A
The love we share,    we share together.


D                  Em7    F#m         G
Nothing's quite as pretty     as Mary in the evening

Bm              G                   E              A
Kissed by the shades of night and starlight in her hair.

D          Em7  F#m             G
And as we walk,     I hold her close beside me.

Bm        G               E               A           D  G      D
All our tomorrows for a lifetime we will share.  Um - um   um - um.
