Tab of Mary By Oingo Boingo
Tabbed by Cameron Miller

This is a tab of the farewell version of the song, which has a lot more guitar. I can’t tab every solo of this song, but I can get a lot of the important parts. My other tab for this song wasn’t the best, but you can still use parts of it to fill any parts I leave out here.
Key:
B= Bend note
\/ = Bend string down
^ = Bend string up
/ = Slide up
\ = Slide down
Guitar first comes in at chorus:
E---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------10--------
G-----------------10---10--------------------------10---10----------------------10---10-------10---
D-------10----9-------------10-----------10----9-----------10-------10----9------------------------
A---9---------------------------------9------------------------------9----------------------------------
E---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That is used for the chorus through out the whole song.

Main rift:
E-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
G--------------6---------5B----------------------6---------5B--------------------
D------6-5-6-----6B--------3------------6-5-6----6B---------3-----------------
A---5-----------------4-----------5----5----------------4-------------------------
E----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then…
E------------------------------------------------
B------------------------------------------------
G-------------------4------------------4--------
D-----------4-3-4----4--------4-3-4---4------
A---3---3-------------------3------------------
E------------------------------------------------
Again, that comes up a lot in the song.

For the verse, which first appears at “And she liked it…” there’s this
E----------11/------------17\-----------------------------------11\----
B----------11/------------17\-----------------------------------11\----
G---13------------13-------------13------------16-----13------------
D---11------------12-------------11---------15--------12------------
A---12------------11-------------12---\14/------------11------------
E------------------------------------------------------------------------

The only part of the solo which I know is right before the song comes to the “So Mary came back verse..”. Here it goes:
E----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B------------------------------------------------------10---10------------------10---10----------------
G---2/15----2/17----2/19----2/17---------10---9----------10-----10---9--------------10----------
D---2/13----2/15----2/17----2/15------9------------------------9------------------------------------
A---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When Steve hits the high notes on that he uses a dive bar to bend the pitch a bit, so if you have a dive bar wiggle it a bit when you hit the high notes
Have fun!!
