Chords

[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

            A              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. (Distant military drum)
