STEP IT OUT MARY (The High Kings' version)
Tabbed by Fabrizio Luglio ([email protected])
Too many tabs of this song on the web are completely wrong so I decided to post my version. Hope you enjoy :-)
The basic riff goes: DmDm C majorC A minorAm Bb majorBb all the times
DmDm
So step it out, Mary, my fine daughter
C majorC
Step it out, marry, if you can
A minorAm
Step it out, Mary, my fine daughter
Bb majorBb
Show your legs to the countryman (x2)
DmDm C majorC
In the village of Kilgory, there's a maiden young and fair
A minorAm Bb majorBb
Her eyes shine like diamonds, she has long and golden hair
DmDm C majorC
The horseman he comes riding, riding up to her father's gates
A minorAm Bb majorBb
On a pure-white stallion, he comes at the strike of eight.
Chorus:
DmDm
So step it out, Mary, my fine daughter
C majorC
Step it out, marry, if you can
A minorAm
Step it out, Mary, my fine daughter
Bb majorBb
Show your legs to the countryman (x2)
DmDm C majorC
I have come to court your daughter, Mary of the golden hair
A minorAm Bb majorBb
I have gold and I have silver, I have goods beyond compare
DmDm C majorC
I will buy her silks and satin and a gold ring for her hand
A minorAm Bb majorBb
She shall have a mansion, she'll have servants to command
Chorus:
DmDm
So step it out, Mary, my fine daughter
C majorC
Step it out, marry, if you can
A minorAm
Step it out, Mary, my fine daughter
Bb majorBb
Show your legs to the countryman (x2)
DmDm C majorC
I don't want your gold and silver, I don't want your house and land
A minorAm Bb majorBb
I am in love with a soldier, I have promised him my hand
DmDm C majorC
But the father spoke up sharply: You will do as i command,
A minorAm Bb majorBb
You'll get married on a Sunday and you'll wear that wedding band
Chorus:
DmDm
So step it out, Mary, my fine daughter
C majorC
Step it out, marry, if you can
A minorAm
Step it out, Mary, my fine daughter
Bb majorBb
Show your legs to the countryman (x2)
D MajorD B minorBm
In the village of Kilgory there's a deep stream flowing by
G+G B minorBm A augmentedA
On her wedding day at midnight she drowns with her soldier boy
