Intro (Capo at III): Bb, Eb, Cm7, F, Bb/D, Bb majorBb
Bb majorBb Eb MajorEb Cm7Cm7
Oh Mary this London's a wonderful sight
FF Bb/DBb/D Bb majorBb
The people here are workin' by day and by night
Eb MajorEb Cm7Cm7
They don't sow potatoes, nor barley, nor wheat
FF Bb/DBb/D Bb majorBb
But there's gangs of them diggin' for gold in the street
FF Bb majorBb Gm7Gm7
At least when I asked them that's what I was told
Bb majorBb C minorCm Eb MajorEb FF
So I just took her hand at this diggin' for gold
Bb majorBb Cm7Cm7 Eb MajorEb DmDm
But for all that I found there I might as well be
FF Eb MajorEb Bb/DBb/D Bb majorBb
In the place where the dark Mournes sweep down to the sea.
(Bb, Eb, Cm7, F, Bb/D, Bb majorBb)
(Same as first verse):
There's beautiful girls here, Oh never you mind
Beautiful shapes nature never designed
lovely complexions of roses and cream
But let me remark with regard to the same
That if at that those roses you venture to sip
The colours might all come away on your lips
So I'll wait for the wild rose that's waitin' for me
In the place where the dark Mourne sweep down to the sea.
(Bb, Eb, Cm7, F, Bb/D, Bb majorBb) x2
(Same as first verse):
You remember young Davey Mc Clarin of course
Well sure, now, he's round here with the rest of the force
I saw him one day as I was crossin' the strand
And he stopped the whole street with a wave of his hand
And as we stood talkin' of days that are gone
The whole town of London stood there to look on
But for all his great powers he's wishful like me
To be back where the dark Mourne sweep down to the sea
But for all his great powers he's wishful like me
To be back where the dark Mourne sweep down to the sea
