Jim Reeves – Distant Drums (Ukulele)

  F                 C       F
I hear the sound of distant drums

          C    F
Far away, far away

                     C     F
And if they call for me to come

            C               F
Then I must go and you must stay

        C                   F
So Mary marry me, let's not wait

                            G7                  C
Let's share all the time we can before it's too late

        C                                     F
Love me now for now is all the time there may be

                     G7         C
If you love me Mary, Mary marry me

  F                 C      F
I hear the sound of bugles blow

          C   F
Far away, far away

                       C      F
And if they call, then I must go

           C                F
Across the sea, so wild and grey

        C                   F
So Mary marry me, let's not wait

                            G7                 C
For the distant drums might change our wedding date

            C                                      F
And love me now, for now is all the time there may be

                     G7         C
If you love me Mary, Mary marry me
