Chord diagramG+G                     Chord diagramC majorC                    Chord diagramG+G
She'd slip away each day with the dimming light

At the mill she'd work her fingers till they were raw
Chord diagramE minorEm                              Chord diagramD MajorD                Chord diagramG+G
For the sake of her son and the daddy he never saw

Mary danced with soldiers
                         Chord diagramE minorEm
She stepped a light quadrille
Chord diagramC majorC                   Chord diagramG+G
Shawl across her shoulders
                 Chord diagramE minorEm Chord diagramC majorC                     Chord diagramG+G
To keep away the chill, to keep away the chill

Verse:
Chord diagramG+G                        Chord diagramC majorC                   Chord diagramG+G
It was a rebel boy who brought her joy they say
Chord diagramG+G                                    Chord diagramC majorC                    Chord diagramG+G
Though the years had passed the memories stood fast each day
           Chord diagramC majorC                                  Chord diagramG+G
Before a bullet crushed the life of their romance
Chord diagramE minorEm                       Chord diagramD MajorD                Chord diagramG+G
He gave her a shawl and a parasol from France

Chorus:
Chord diagramC majorC                   Chord diagramG+G
Mary danced with soldiers
                         Chord diagramE minorEm
She stepped a light quadrille
Chord diagramC majorC                   Chord diagramG+G
Shawl across her shoulders
                 Chord diagramE minorEm Chord diagramC majorC                     Chord diagramG+G
To keep away the chill, to keep away the chill

Verse:
Chord diagramG+G                        Chord diagramC majorC                   Chord diagramG+G
They came around to the tavern in town that night
Chord diagramG+G                       Chord diagramC majorC                    Chord diagramG+G
And with silent cries Mary never tried to fight
      Chord diagramC majorC                               Chord diagramG+G
They cut her hair and left her body torn
Chord diagramE minorEm                  Chord diagramD MajorD                Chord diagramG+G
Her spirit slipped away before the dawn

Chorus:
Chord diagramC majorC                   Chord diagramG+G
Mary danced with soldiers
                     Chord diagramE minorEm
But now her body's still
Chord diagramC majorC                   Chord diagramG+G
Shawl across her shoulders
    Chord diagramC majorC              Chord diagramG+G
To keep away the chill

Chorus:
Chord diagramC majorC                   Chord diagramG+G
Mary danced with soldiers
                         Chord diagramE minorEm
She stepped a light quadrille
Chord diagramC majorC                   Chord diagramG+G
Shawl across her shoulders
                 Chord diagramE minorEm Chord diagramC majorC                     Chord diagramG+G
To keep away the chill, to keep away the chill
