STEP IT OUT MARY (The High Kings' version)
Tabbed by Fabrizio Luglio (fablug@yahoo.it)
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: DmCAmBb all the times
Dm
So step it out, Mary, my fine daughter
C
Step it out, marry, if you can
Am
Step it out, Mary, my fine daughter
Bb
Show your legs to the countryman (x2)
