Distant Drums

     A         D
Far away, far away
            A              D
And if they call for me to come
     G      D
Then I must go
    A        D
And you must stay

[Chorus 1]
   N.C.  D                   G
So Mary, marry me, let's not wait
            A               A7                  D
Let's share all the time we can before it's too late
N.C.     D                                     G
 Love me now for now is all the time there may be
       A             A7           D
If you love me Mary, marry, marry me

[Verse 2]
           A                D
I hear the sound, of bugles blow
     A         D
Far away, far away
            A                 D
And if they call, then I must go
 G         D
Across the sea
   A        D
So wild and grey

[Chorus 2]
   N.C.  D                   G
So Mary, marry me, let's not wait
        A                   A7                 D
For the distant drums might change our wedding date
N.C.     D                                     G
 Love me now for now is all the time there may be
       A             A7           D
If you love me Mary, marry, marry me
