VERSE 1:
G+G C majorC G+G
Come all you lads of high renown
D7D7 G+G
That will hear of a fair young maiden
C majorC G+G
And she roved out on a summer's day
D7D7 G+G
For to view the soldier's parading
C majorC G+G D7D7
They march so bold and they look so gay
E minorEm C majorC D7D7
The colors flyin' and the bands did play
G+G E minorEm C majorC D7D7
And it caused young Mary for to say,
G+G D7D7 G+G C majorC D MajorD G+G
I'll wed you me gallant soldier"
VERSE 2:
G+G C majorC G+G
She viewed the soldiers on parade
D7D7 G+G
And as they stood at their leisure
C majorC G+G
Young Mary to herself did say:
D7D7 G+G
"At last I found my treasure
C majorC G+G D7D7
But oh how cruel my parents must be
E minorEm C majorC D7D7
To banish my darlin' so far from me
G+G E minorEm C majorC D7D7
Well I'll leave them all and I'll go with thee
G+G D7D7 G+G C majorC D MajorD G+G
Me bold undaunted soldier"
VERSE 3:
G+G C majorC G+G
"Oh Mary dear, your parents' love,
D7D7 G+G
I pray don't be unruly
C majorC G+G
For when you're in a foreign land,
D7D7 G+G
Believe me you'll rue it surely
C majorC G+G D7D7
Perhaps in battle I might fall
E minorEm C majorC D7D7
From a shot from an angry cannon ball
G+G E minorEm C majorC D7D7
And you so far from your Daddy's hall
G+G D7D7 G+G C majorC D MajorD G+G
Be advised by a gallant soldier."
VERSE 4:
G+G C majorC G+G
"Oh I have fifty guineas in my coat,
D7D7 G+G
Likewise a heart that's bolder
C majorC G+G
And I'd leave them all and I'll go with you
D7D7 G+G
Me bold undaunted soldier
C majorC G+G D7D7
So don't say no but let me go
E minorEm C majorC D7D7
And I will face the daring foe
G+G E minorEm C majorC D7D7
And we'll march together to and fro
G+G D7D7 G+G C majorC D MajorD G+G
And I'll wed you, my gallant soldier"
VERSE 5:
G+G C majorC G+G
And when he saw her loyalty
D7D7 G+G
And Mary so true-hearted
C majorC G+G
He said: "Me darling, married we'll be,
D7D7 G+G
And nothing but death will part us
C majorC G+G D7D7
And when we're in a foreign land
E minorEm C majorC D7D7
I'll guard you, darling, with my right hand
G+G E minorEm C majorC D7D7
And hopes that God might stand a friend
G+G D7D7 G+G C majorC D MajorD G+G
To Mary and her gallant soldier"
