Johnny Cash – Mary Of The Wild Moor (Guitar)

       G      D           G
It was on one cold winter night

         G          A7             D7
When the wind blew across the wild moor

     G         D         G             C
When Mary came wandering home with her child 

         G           D7           G
Till she came to her own father's door

 G            D            G
"Father, dear father," she cried

      G        A7       D7
"Come down and open the door

       G           D         G          C
Or the child in my arms will perish and die

         G                D7             G
From the winds that blow across the wild moor"

        G          D           G
But her father was deaf to her cry

      G          A7           D7
Not a sound of a voice did he hear

       G            D            G             C
So the watchdog did howl and the village bells tolled

        G          D7             G
And the wind blew across the wild moor

    G           D             G
Oh, how the old man must have felt

        G           A7            D7
When he came to the door the next morn'

       G          D            G            C
And he found Mary dead but the child still alive

        G            D7            G
Closely grasping its dead mother's arms

   G             D           G
In grief the old man passed away

        G            A7          D7
And the child to its mother went soon

    G            D          G             C
And no one, they say, lives there to this day

        G          D7       G
And the cottage to ruin has gone

        G         D             G
But the villagers point out the spot

          G            A7       D7
Where the willows grew over the door

         G          D              G           C
Saying, "There Mary died, once the gay village bride

         G               D7             G
From the wind that blew across the wild moor"
