Key: G

Difficulty: Novice

Verse:
G                     C                    G
She'd slip away each day with the dimming light
G                                  C                   G
And with the sweetest smile she'd kiss the child goodnight
         C                                         G
At the mill she'd work her fingers till they were raw
Em                              D                G
For the sake of her son and the daddy he never saw

Chorus:
C                   G
Mary danced with soldiers
                         Em
She stepped a light quadrille
C                   G
Shawl across her shoulders
                 Em C                     G
To keep away the chill, to keep away the chill

Verse:
G                        C                   G
It was a rebel boy who brought her joy they say
G                                    C                    G
Though the years had passed the memories stood fast each day
           C                                  G
Before a bullet crushed the life of their romance
Em                       D                G
He gave her a shawl and a parasol from France

Chorus:
C                   G
Mary danced with soldiers
                         Em
She stepped a light quadrille
C                   G
Shawl across her shoulders
                 Em C                     G
To keep away the chill, to keep away the chill

Verse:
G                        C                   G
They came around to the tavern in town that night
G                       C                    G
And with silent cries Mary never tried to fight
      C                               G
They cut her hair and left her body torn
Em                  D                G
Her spirit slipped away before the dawn

Chorus:
C                   G
Mary danced with soldiers
                     Em
But now her body's still
C                   G
Shawl across her shoulders
    C              G
To keep away the chill

Chorus:
C                   G
Mary danced with soldiers
                         Em
She stepped a light quadrille
C                   G
Shawl across her shoulders
                 Em C                     G
To keep away the chill, to keep away the chill
