1. 
G                   C           G 
 Mary Skeffington, close your eyes 
     D                D7                    G 
And make believe that you are just a girl again 
G                     C         G 
 Go to sleep tonight, dream of days 
       D                 D7                G 
 When you had something there to light the way 

Bridge 

Gm           C             G               C 
 Remember a holiday in a north-of-England town 
Gm               C                  G         D         
 You slept in a room upstairs on a bed of eiderdown 

2. 
 Mary Skeffington, when you wake 
 You mustn't be afraid to face another day 
 Think of what you have, you'll get by 
 You've always been a lady, so hold your head up high 

Bridge 

 Look back on a home where you spent the best years of your life 
 Remember the man who asked you if you would be his wife
