Deep Purple - Mary Long guitar chord

Mary Long

(Blackmore/Gillan/Glover/Lord/Paice)

From "Who Do We Think We Are", 1973

Intro: Gm

VERSE-1:

Gm Bb/G

Mary Long is a hypocrite

C/G Gm

She does all the things that she tells us not to do

Gm Bb/G

Selling filth from a corner shop

C/G Gm

And knitting patterns to the high street queue

Gm Bb/G

She paints roses, even makes them smell good

C/G Gm

And then she draws titties on the khazy wall

Gm Bb/G

Drowns kittens just to get a thrill

C/G Gm

And writes sermons in the Sun-day Chronicle

CHORUS:

Eb Bb F C Gm

How did you lose your virginity, Ma-ry Long ?

Bb F C7

When will you lose your stupidity, Mary Long ?

VERSE-2:

Mary told Johnny not to write such trash

Said it was a waste of public money

She made a fuss, they made apologies

But everybody thought the show was funny

When the nation knew you'd had children

It came as such a surprise

We really didn't know you'd had it in you

How you did it we can only surmise

CHORUS:

How did you lose your virginity, Mary Long ?

When will you lose your stupidity, Mary Long ?

VERSE-3

Mary Long, you're not alone

But you're a long way behind our times

What we do in full frontal view

Is more honest than your clean-up mind

What I'm saying, Mary Long is

When you can spare a minute

Go find your friend the porny Lord

Dig your self a hole and jump in it

CHORUS:

How did you lose your virginity, Mary Long ?

When will you lose your stupidity, Mary Long ?
