Chords with lyrics
Finally, some Great Big Sea on the Internet. Although I can't make
out most of the lyrics, I have figured out chords for the song. It's
pretty simple, only four chords: G, A, E minorEm and D.
Start off with quick changes from G+G to A augmentedA to E minorEm (listen to the album
for the proper rhythm).
During the verses:
" (E minorEm) There's a cute little lass and her name is Mari-Mac (D MajorD)
And make no mistake she' a girl I'm gonna track (E minorEm) A augmentedA lot of other
fellas try to get her on the back. But I'm (G+G) thinkin' they'll (A augmentedA)
have to get up early (E minorEm).
(E minorEm) Mari-Macs mother's makin' Mari-Mac marry me (D MajorD once hard
and then mute it) My mother's makin' me marry Mari-Mac(a few rapid D's)
(E minorEm) Well I'm gonna marry Mari cause Mari's takin' care. Well
(G+G) I'll be feelin' (A augmentedA) marry when (E minorEm) I marry Mari-Mac.
The rest of the song follows this same progression but it
get's much faster so listen to the album and you'll figure it out much
better than I can describe.
