Version 1
[Intro]
N.C.
(Distant military drum)
[Verse 1]
N.C. A D
I hear the sound, of distant drums
A D
Far away, far away
A7 D
And if they call for me to come
G D
Then I must go
A D
And you must stay
[Chorus 1]
N.C. D G
So Mary, marry me, let's not wait
A A7 D
Let's share all the time we can before it's too late
N.C. D G
Love me now for now is all the time there may be
A A7 D
If you love me Mary, marry, marry me
[Verse 2]
A D
I hear the sound, of bugles blow
A D
Far away, far away
A D
And if they call, then I must go
G D
Across the sea
A D
So wild and grey
[Chorus 2]
N.C. D G
So Mary, marry me, let's not wait
A A7 D
For the distant drums might change our wedding date
N.C. D G
Love me now for now is all the time there may be
A A7 D
If you love me Mary, marry, marry me
[Outro]
N.C.
