Intro:
G    C/G    G   C/G  x2

verse 1:
G            C/G     G        C/G
Oh fare thee well my own true love
G                        D
Fare thee well but for a while
    G       C/G             G    F#    Em    Walk-down:
The ship is waitin' an' the wind blows high
    G    C/G   G            C/G
An' I am bound away for the sea,
     G        C/G      G        C/G
Mary Ann…     Aaa      Aaa      Aaa
     C/G    G            C/G       G    C/G   G    C/G
I am bound  away for the sea, Mary Ann

verse 2:
G            C/G     G        C/G
Ten thousand miles away from home
G                     D
Ten thousand miles or more
    G       C/G            G      F#   Em
The sea may freeze an' the earth  may  burn
     G     C/G     G         C/G
If I never no-more return to you,
     G        C/G      G        C/G
Mary Ann…     Aaa      Aaa      Aaa
     G     C/G     G         C/G       G    C/G   G    C/G
If I never no-more return to you, Mary Ann


verse 3:
G            C/G      G        C/G
Oh don't you see that crow fly high
G                     D
She'll surely turn to white
   G      C/G   G      F#   Em
If ever I prove false  to   you
        G    C/G     G         C/G
Let the day  turn to night, my dear
     G        C/G      G        C/G
Mary Ann…     Aaa…     Aaa…     Aaa…
        G    C/G     G         C/G         G    C/G   G    C/G
Let the day  turn to night, my dear.  Mary Ann.


verse 4:
G        C/G   G        C/G
Oh, if I had a flask of gin
    G              D
an' sugar here for two
      G         C/G         G    F#  Em
An' a great big bowl for to mix  it  in
    G      C/G       G       C/G
I'd pour a drink for you, my dear
     G        C/G      G        C/G
Mary Ann…     Aaa…     Aaa…     Aaa…
        G      C/G       G       C/G        G    C/G   G    C/G
Yes I'd pour a drink for you, my dear. Mary Ann.

End on G
