(D major) I understand this is a true story
of many, many years ago.
Mary of the Wild Moor. (Asus4)
(A major) (D major) (A major) (D major) (G major) (D major) (A major) (D major)

(A major)

When (D major) Mary came wandering (A major)
home (F sharp minor) (D major) with her (G major) child,

Verse 3
Father, (D major) dear Father, (A major) she (D major) cried,
Verse 4
come down (D major) and open (E minor) the door,
(A major)
Verse 5
or the (D major) child in my arm (A major) s
will perish (D major) and die
(G major)
Verse 6
(D major)
that blow across (A major) the wild (D major) moor
Oh why did I leave (A major) this fair spot (D major)
where once I was so happy and free (E major)
(A major) and I'm now doomed to roam
no (D major) friends or no home (A major)
no (D major) one to take pity on me (G major)
(D major) but her father (A major) was deaf to her cry
(D major) not a sound of her voice reached his ear
The (A major) watchdogs they (D major) howled,
(G major) the village bells tolled, (D major)
And the winds (A major) blew across
(D major) the wild moor. (B flat major)
Oh, (E flat major) how the old (B flat major) man must have felt (E flat major)
When he came to the door (F major) the next morn (B flat major)
And found (E flat major) Mary dead, (B flat major)
but the child (E flat major) still alive (A flat major)
Closely (E flat major) grasped in its (B flat major) dead mother's (E flat major) arms
In anguish he (B flat major) tore his gray hair (E flat major)
And the tears down his
(F major) face they did pour (B flat major)
When he (E flat major) saw how that night (B flat major)
she had (E flat major) perished and (A flat major) died
From the (E flat major) wind that blew
across (B flat major) the wild moon (E flat major)
In grief the old (B flat major) man pined away (E flat major)
And the child to its (F major) mother went soon (B flat major)
And no (E flat major) one, say, (B flat major)
has lived (E flat major) there to this day (A flat major)
And the (E flat major) cottage to (B flat major) ruin has gone (E flat major)
But the villagers,
(B flat major) they still point out (E flat major) the spot
Where the willows grow (F major)
over the door. (B flat major)
Saying there, (E flat major) Mary died, (B flat major)
she was once (E flat major) the gay village bride, (A flat major)
(E flat major) From the winds, the cold (B flat major) winds
that blew across (E flat major) the mile more. you
