Mary And The Soldier

INTRO: C  Am  D  G   (2x)

            C              G     D
Come all ye lads of high renown
          G         D          G       C
And would hear of a fair young maiden
                               G    D
And she rode out of a summer's day
       G        D          G
For to view the soldiers parading
                              C         Em D
They marched so bold and they looked so ga-ay
    C                                G
The colours flying and the bands did play
       C            G    C      G
And it caused young Mary for to say
                  D       G
"I'll wed you, my gallant soldier"


        C                        G    D
And she viewed the soldiers on parade
    G       D              G
And as they stood at their leisure
    C                   G    D
And Mary to herself did say
    G         D        G
"At last I've found my treasure
                     C            Em D
But oh, how cruel my parents must be-e
             C                   G
To banish my darling so far from me
         C          G            C       G
But I'll leave them all and I'll go with thee
            D       G
You wild, undaunted soldier"

     C                       G    D
"Oh, Mary dear, your parents love
  G          D    G
I pray don't be unruly
    C                        G    D
For when you're in a foreign land
  G                D      G
Believe me, you'll rue it surely
                 C       Em D
And if in battle I might fall_
     C                        G
By a shot from an angry cannonball
    C      G             C       G
And you so far from your daddy's hall
                   D       G
Be advised by your gallant soldier"

                  C                 G     D
"And I have fifty guineas in bright gold
    G       D            G       C
Likewise, a heart that's bolder
         G                                    D
And I'll leave them all and I'll go with you
    G       D       G
You wild, undaunted soldier
                     C      Em D
So don't say no, but let me go-o
    C                      G
And I will face the daring foe
          C       G       C      G
And we'll march together, to and fro
                     D       G        C  G
And I'll wed you, my gallant soldier"

And when he saw her loyalty
    G    D       G
And Mary so true hearted
                        C             G   D
He said, "Then darling, married we'll be
    G           D          G
And nothing but death will part us
                    C       Em D
And when we're in a foreign land_
     C                                G
I'll guard you darling, with my right hand
       C          G         C       G
In the hopes that god might stand a friend
                D       G       C   G
To Mary and her gallant soldier
       C          G                 D
In the hopes that god might stand a friend
   G            D       Em C  G
To Mary and her gallant so-ol-dier"
