The Queens Maries chords by The Corries

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

C              F  C
Yestre'en the Queen had four Marys
        Em    G
Tonicht she'll hae but three
      F  G     Em  C
There was Mary Seaton and Mary Beaton
Am    G     C
Mary Carmichael and me


C        F    C
Oh little did my mother think
       Em   G
The day she cradled me
  F    G    Em   C
The lands I was tae travel in
   Am   G    C
The death I was tae die

C        F    C
Oh tie a napkin round my e'en
      Em   G
No let me see to die
  F    G    Em   C
And send nae word tae my dear mother
   Am    G     C
Who's far awa' o'er the sea

C               F    C
But I wish I could lie in oor ain kirk yard
      Em    G
Beneath yon old oak tree
     F     G
Where we pulled the rowans
  Em     C
And strung the gowans
  Am      G      C
My brothers and sisters and me

C              F  C
Yestre'en the Queen had four Marys
        Em   G
Tonicht she'll hae but three
      F  G     Em  C
There was Mary Seaton and Mary Beaton
Am  G       C
Mary Carmichael and me


C            F     C
But why should I fear a nameless grave
          Em  G
When I've hopes for eternity
     F       G    Em   C
And I'll pray that the faith o'dying quick
  Am      G     C
Be given through grace to me


C              F  C
Yestre'en the Queen had four Marys
        Em    G
Tonicht she'll hae but three

     F  G     Em  C
There was Mary Seaton and Mary Beaton
Am  G       C
Mary Carmichael and me



     F  G     Em  C
There was Mary Seaton and Mary Beaton
Am  G       C
Mary Carmichael and me
