Guitar chords with lyrics

Difficulty: Intermediate 💪

🎸 Verse 1:
     Bm                   Am
When two lovers meet down beside the green bower
     Bm                   Am                F#maj
when two lovers meet down beneath the green tree
     Bm               Am
When Mary, fond Mary, declared unto her lover
     Bm                                Am           E
You have stolen my poor heart from the Banks of the Lee



🎸 Chorus:
  Bm                        Am
I loved her very dearly, so truly and sincerely
          Bm                                Am          F#sus4 F#maj
There was no one in this wide world I loved better than she
      Bm                          Am
Every bush and every bower, every wild Irish flower
        Bm                    Am           E
Reminds me of my Mary, on the banks of the Lee


🎸 Verse 2:
     Bm                                Am
Well don't stay out late, love, on the moorlands, my Mary
     Bm                                Am             F#maj
Well don't stay out late, love, on the moorlands from me
    Bm                            Am
How little was our notion when Versed on the ocean
        Bm                           Am           E
That we were Versed from the Banks of the Lee


🎸 Chorus:
  Bm                        Am
I loved her very dearly, so truly and sincerely
          Bm                                Am          F#sus4 F#maj
There was no one in this wide world I loved better than she
      Bm                          Am
Every bush and every bower, every wild Irish flower
        Bm                    Am           E
Reminds me of my Mary, on the banks of the Lee



🎸 Verse 3:
       Bm                             Am
I will pluck my love some roses, some blooming Irish roses
       Bm                            Am                F#maj
I will pluck my love some roses, the fairest that ever grew
         Bm                          Am
And I'll lay them on the grave of my own true lovely Mary
        Bm                                    Am                E
In that cold and silent church yard where she sleeps 'neath the dew

🎸 Chorus:
  Bm                        Am
I loved her very dearly, so truly and sincerely
          Bm                                Am          F#sus4 F#maj
There was no one in this wide world I loved better than she
      Bm                          Am
Every bush and every bower, every wild Irish flower
        Bm                    Am           E
Reminds me of my Mary, on the banks of the Lee
