Lyrics:
Mary had a pretty face
Pretty face pretty face
Mary had a pretty face
The mirror wouldn't show

So I said "Come and see the light
Don't see yourself through your eyes
Try looking back through mine"
And she said "Don't waste your time
I'm not beautiful and that's the bottom line"

She brought that face into a bar
To a bar to a bar
She brought that face into a bar
But she didn't fall in love

So I said "Come and see the light
Don't see yourself through your eyes
Try looking back through mine"
And she said "Don't waste your time
I don't feel beautiful and that's the bottom line"

She cried herself to sleep one night
Sleep one night
Sleep? Yeah right...
She cried herself to sleep one night
Then she finally heard my voice

And it said "Come and see the light
Don't see yourself through your eyes
Try looking back through mine"
Yeah it said "Dry those pretty eyes
You are beautiful and that's the bottom line
And smile of yours sends shivers up my spine
'Cause you're so beautiful
And that's the bottom line"


If you want to play this song for your beautiful friends it's quite simple:
Slap a capo on the second fret (or don't... whatevs) and play the following chord shapes...

Verse: E - A - E - B - E
Chorus: A - E - F#m - A - E - F#m - B - E
Verse again
Chorus again
Verse again
Last Chorus: A - E - F#m - A - E - F#m - B - E - F#m - B - E - F#m - B - E
Then hit those tasty harmonics on the 14th fret with just the high E and B strings.
And don't forget to smile!
