[Intro] Am Dm Em Am Em F G Am [Verse 1]
     Am                      Dm              Em
When two lovers meet down beside the green ocean

     Am                       D            E
When two lovers meet down beneath the green tree

      Am                        Dm             Em
And Mary, my fond Mary, to her love she is declaring

         Am          Em                  F     G     Am
You have stolen my young heart from the banks of the Lee
[Chorus]
     Am                      Dm            Em
I loved her very dearly, So truly and sincerely

         Am                           D                E
There is no one in this wide world I loved so much as she

       Am                           Dm          Em
Every bush and every bower.  Every wild Irish flower

       Am            Em          F     G      Am
It reminds me of my Mary on the banks of the Lee
[Verse 2]
       Am                 Dm            Em
I will pluck my love some roses.  Some wild Irish roses

        Am                             D                E
I will pluck my love some roses.  The fairest that ever grew.

       Am                            Dm          Em
I will place them on the mound of my own darling true love

         Am             Em               F       G        Am
In that cold and silent valley where she lies beneath the dew
[Chorus]
     Am                      Dm            Em
I loved her very dearly, So truly and sincerely

         Am                           D                E
There is no one in this wide world I loved so much as she

       Am                           Dm          Em
Every bush and every bower.  Every wild Irish flower

       Am            Em          F     G      Am
It reminds me of my Mary on the banks of the Lee
