Intro:
G+G
Verse:
A minorAm
Oh, Mary, this London's a wonderful sight
D MajorD G+G
With people here working by day and by night
C majorC
They don't sow potatoes nor barley nor wheat
D MajorD G+G A minorAm G+G
But there's gangs of them diggin' for gold in the street
Verse:
C majorC G+G
At least when I asked them, that's what I was told
D MajorD
So I just took a hand at this diggin' for gold
G+G C majorC
But for all that I found there, I might as well be
D MajorD G+G
Where the Mountains O'Mourne sweep down to the sea
Verse:
A minorAm
I believe that when writing, a wish you expressed
D MajorD G+G
As to how the fine ladies in London were dressed
C majorC
Well, if you'll believe me, when asked to a ball
D MajorD G+G A minorAm G+G
They don't wear no top to their dresses at all
Verse:
C majorC G+G
Oh, I've seen them meself and you could not in truth
D MajorD
Say that if they were bound for a ball or a bath
G+G C majorC
Don't be startin' them fashions, now, Mary McCree
D MajorD G+G
Where the Mountains O'Mourne sweep down to the sea
Verse:
A minorAm
There's beautiful girls here, oh, never you mind
D MajorD G+G
With beautiful shapes nature never designed
C majorC
Lovely complexions, all roses and cream
D MajorD G+G
But let me remark with regard to the same
Verse:
C majorC G+G
That if at those roses you venture to sip
D MajorD
The colours might all come away on your lip
G+G C majorC
So, I'll wait for the wild rose that's waitin' for me
D MajorD G+G
In the place where the dark Mourne sweeps down to the sea
