Lucy Kaplansky - Mary And The Soldier


CAPO: 3rd Fret


INTRO: C Am D G  (2x)

      C       G   D
Come all ye lads of high renown
     G     D     G    C
And would hear of a fair young maiden
                G  D
And she rode out of a summer's day
    G    D     G
For to view the soldiers parading
               C     Em D
They marched so bold and they looked so ga-ay
  C                G
The colours flying and the bands did play
    C      G  C   G
And it caused young Mary for to say
         D    G
"I'll wed you, my gallant soldier"

    C            G  D
And she viewed the soldiers on parade
  G    D       G
And as they stood at their leisure
  C          G  D
And Mary to herself did say
  G     D    G
"At last I've found my treasure
           C      Em D
But oh, how cruel my parents must be-e
       C          G
To banish my darling so far from me
     C     G      C    G
But I'll leave them all and I'll go with thee
      D    G
You wild, undaunted soldier"


INTERLUDE: C Am D G (2x)


   C            G  D
"Oh, Mary dear, your parents love
 G     D  G
I pray don't be unruly
  C            G  D
For when you're in a foreign land
 G        D   G
Believe me, you'll rue it surely
         C    Em D
And if in battle I might fall_
   C            G
By a shot from an angry cannonball
  C   G       C    G
And you so far from your daddy's hall
          D    G
Be advised by your gallant soldier"


INSTRUMENTAL: G C G D G  C G D G D G
       C Em D C  G C G C G D G


         C         G   D
"And I have fifty guineas in bright gold
  G    D      G    C
Likewise, a heart that's bolder
     G                  D
And I'll leave them all and I'll go with you
  G    D    G
You wild, undaunted soldier
           C   Em D
So don't say no, but let me go-o
  C           G
And I will face the daring foe
     C    G    C   G
And we'll march together, to and fro
           D    G    C G
And I'll wed you, my gallant soldier"


INTERLUDE: C Am G D G (2x)


  C        G    D
And when he saw her loyalty
  G  D    G
And Mary so true hearted
            C       G  D
He said, "Then darling, married we'll be
  G      D     G
And nothing but death will part us
          C    Em D
And when we're in a foreign land_
   C                G
I'll guard you darling, with my right hand
    C     G     C    G
In the hopes that god might stand a friend
        D    G    C  G
To Mary and her gallant soldier
    C     G         D
In the hopes that god might stand a friend
  G      D    Em C G
To Mary and her gallant so-ol-dier"
