  [verse; with main pattern]
       F                                      
  Mary Jane, you've been a good friend to me
  You showed me there's a different way to be
      C                Dm           Dm      C        G/B
  But now has come the time to move further down the line
     D                G              A       
  So get your tainted fingers off of me
  
  F [repeat intro]
  
  Mary Jane, you've promised me so much
  My soul has been used to your touch
  For everything you gave I then became your slave
  Mary Jane, please take your hands off of me - This minute!
  
  There are millions out there waiting for your charms
  So proud Mary, go and take them in your arms
  And through your lovely eyes
  They'll see a new sunrise
  But will they see things as they are?
  
  C#   C#add9
         C#                  
  You've taken me on one fantastic ride
         C#
  You've seen how I fail when I try
    Ab                              C#      B    F#/C#
  I think that now and then I could take to you again
               C#          F#     Ab
  But now I've got someone else inside
  
  Mary Jane, there are things that I've been told
  By a man who is very very old
  He says it's up to me and if I cannot see
  Your silver will give way to His gold
