(ver. 1)
Jethro Tull
[Intro]
Em   Bb

[Verse 1]
Em
Who would be a poor man
  F
A beggar man, a thief
G                           D
If he had a rich man in his hand?
Em
And who would steal the candy
       F
From a laughing baby's mouth
   G                               D
If he could take it from the money man?

[Chorus]
Am
Cross-eyed Mary goes jumping in again
Am
She signs no contract but she always plays the game
    Bbm
She dines in Hampstead village on expense accounted gruel
Bbm
And the jack-knife barber 
C                D       B
Drops her off at school

[Verse 2]
Em
Hey, laughing in the playground
        F
Gets no kicks from little boys
      G                              D
Would rather make it with a letching grey, yeah
Em                     
Or maybe her attention is 
F
Drawn by Aqualung, who
G                                    D
Watches through the railings as they play

[Chorus 2]
Am
Hey, cross-eyed Mary finds it hard to get along
Am
She's a poor man's rich girl and she'll do it for a song
        Bbm
She's a rich man stealer but her favour's good and strong
Bbm
She's the Robin Hood of Highgate helps the
C              D         B
Poor man get a-long, hey

[Verse 3]
Em
Hey, laughing in the playground
        F
Gets no kicks from little boys
      G                              D
Would rather make it with a letching grey, yeah
Em                     
Or maybe her attention is 
F
Drawn by Aqualung, who
G                                    D
Watches through the railings as they play
