D/E = D with open high E D C G D Mary's hair was never red, she didn't like to smile D C G A And when she meant "Forever" said "It's only for a while" D C G C G A And when the summer poppy petals blow down to the sea D C G C A? D I sing a song that Mary loved, but she won't sing with me Susan on a Saturday came tripping through by chance On summer wind, in child's play, her footsteps in a dance Come a calling, cattails falling, spun from bric-a-brac She left a song to linger on, but won't be coming back ...
