The 4 Of Us - 'MARY'

[zgjfslkdfs]

This song is a 3 chord trick. I think it is D Em, A Em throughout. You need a capo on 7th fret of a guitar (standard tuning). One of the best 80's songs (in fact probably one of the all time best). I think this was released Easter/Summer of 1989. Excellent video as well, very nice colours & camera angles. It's a pity they were not big abroad as their sound pre-empted 'The La's' type of Indie Rock which led to Brit-Pop explosion in UK.This song was to Ireland in 89 what WonderWall was to UK in 95

Buskers favourite, great, simple tune with a very complex subject matter, it deals with extortion, domestic violence, infidelity, just brilliant !

Thankyou for uploading this. I can't think why they weren't bigger at the time and aren't still played now. It's a stunning song from a stunning and original band. Beautiful sounds.

Great song. Just a pity you get the few assholes spewing crap comments instead of just appreciating great music.

[martcarey]

This is so beautiful and so simple a song...only 3 magic chords ! Capo down on 9th fret ! Still got this orig on cd and also She hits me/Lightning Paul.They are a great little band!

Yes! I dunno how they didnt make it bigger. Fantastic band. Have seen them live so many times.

Anyone remember the 3rd brother Paul that was in the band? he left at some point? Love to know why .

[Vindude1]

Why Oh Why Did They Never Make It BIG???

[151Sharon]

I love this song. My best friend Mary Tressa is after braking up with her boyfriend so I'm going to show her this to cheer her up. Thanks for Uploading.

[bamale32]

@Thelpsgirl101 you were in a very good place growing up

[Thelpsgirl101]

[declanhughes]

I think it is such a shame that the 4 of us were not as big as U2 or the corrs, cranberries etc - If you like "mary" you will love "she hits me" - super stuff!!
