The Corries – The Queens Maries (Guitar)

C                            F   C
Yestre'en the Queen had four Marys

               Em        G
Tonicht she'll hae but three

           F   G         Em   C
There was Mary Seaton and Mary Beaton

Am       G          C
Mary Carmichael and me

C                F       C
Oh little did my mother think

             Em     G
The day she cradled me

    F       G       Em     C
The lands I was tae travel in

     Am     G       C
The death I was tae die

C               F        C
Oh tie a napkin round my e'en

           Em     G
No let me see to die

    F        G        Em      C
And send nae word tae my dear mother

      Am       G         C
Who's far awa' o'er the sea

C                              F        C
But I wish I could lie in oor ain kirk yard

            Em       G
Beneath yon old oak tree

         F          G
Where we pulled the rowans

    Em         C
And strung the gowans

   Am           G            C
My brothers and sisters and me

C                            F   C
Yestre'en the Queen had four Marys

                Em      G
Tonicht she'll hae but three

           F    G         Em   C
There was Mary Seaton and Mary Beaton

Am   G              C
Mary Carmichael and me

C                       F         C
But why should I fear a nameless grave

                    Em    G
When I've hopes for eternity

         F             G       Em     C
And I'll pray that the faith o'dying quick

   Am            G         C
Be given through grace to me

C                            F   C
Yestre'en the Queen had four Marys

                Em       G
Tonicht she'll hae but three

          F    G         Em   C
There was Mary Seaton and Mary Beaton

Am   G              C
Mary Carmichael and me

          F    G         Em   C
There was Mary Seaton and Mary Beaton

Am   G              C
Mary Carmichael and me
