Is this the one Mj?

ARMS OF MARY

The light shone down the valley
The wind blows up the alley
Oh an how i wish i was lying in the
Arms of Mary
She took the pains of boyhood
and turned them into feelgood
Oh how I wish I was lying in the
Arms of Mary

Mary was the girl who taught me all I had
To know - she put me right on my first mistake
Summer wasn't gone when i learnt all she had
To show - she really gave all a boy could take

So now when I feel lonely
Still looking for the one and only

That's when i wish i was lying in the
Arms of Mary


best wishes, Yvonne

Written by Ian Sutherland, if I remember correctly.  The link above leads to a cached page, so I'll just add a link to the page itself, which with luck should stay current a bit longer:  Arms of Mary

Here is another take on chording:  Arms of Mary

Here is some tab based on Leo Kottke's arrangement:  Arms of Mary

These pages, and a great many more (mostly Boyzone sites which don't credit the writer) may easily be found through a search at Google.
