You passed me by one sunny day,
  D
flashed those big brown eyes my way.
      A                         E   E7
And, ooo, I wanted you forever more.
     A
Now, I`m not one that gets around,
    D
I swear my feet stuck to the ground..
      A             E              A  D A
and though I never did meet you before.
I said..

Chorus:
    A           D
Hello Mary Lou, goodbye heart..
       A                             E  E7
sweet Mary Lou, I`m so in love with you.
    A             C#         F#m
I knew, Mary Lou, we`d never part..
     B           E            A     D A
so, hello, Mary Lou, goodbye heart.

Saw your lips I heard your voice
Believe me I just had no choice
Wild horses couldn't make me stay away
Thought about a moonlit night
My arms around you good and tight
That's all I had to see for me to say

Chorus:
"Hey, hey, Hello Mary Lou, Goodbye heart
Sweet Mary Lou, I'm so in love with you
I knew Mary Lou, We'd never part
So Hello Mary Lou, Goodbye heart
So Hello Mary Lou, Goodbye heart
Yes, Hello Mary Lou, Goodbye heart
