N.C.      D         D7        G
So, Mary, marry me, let's not wait

And love me now, for now is all the time there may be

If you love me, Mary, Mary, marry me
           A7              D
I hear the sound of bugles blow
     A7       D
Far away, far away

And if they call, then I must go

 G         D       A7       D
Across the sea, so wild and free

For the distant drums might change our wedding day

And love me now, for now is all the time there may be
       A7                         D
If you love me, Mary, Mary, marry me
D
