Verse 1
G 
Oh, Mary,
Bm 
G 
C 
this London's a wonderful sight
Am 
D 
With people here working
C 
G 
by day and by night
Bm 
They don't sow potatoes,
C 
nor barley, nor wheat
Am 
D 
But there's gangs of them
C 
G 
digging for gold in the street
D 
At least when I asked them
G 
that's what I was told
E 
So I just took a hand at
A 
D 
this diggin' for gold
G 
B 
But for all that I found there
C 
A 
I  might as well be
D 
Where the Mountains of Mourne
C 
sweep down to the sea
G

Verse 2
D 
G 
Bm 
I believe that when writin'
C 
a wish you expressed
Am 
D 
As to  how the fine ladies in
C 
G 
London were dressed
Well, if you'll believe me,
C 
when asked to a ball
Am 
A 
D 
Faith they don't wear a top to
C 
G 
D 
their dresses at all
Oh, I've seen them meself an
G 
d you could not in trath
E 
Say if they were bound
A 
D 
for a ball or a bath
G 
B 
Don't be startin' them fashions now,
Mary Macree
Where the Mountains of Mourne sweep
C 
down to the sea
I've seen England's King from the top of a bus
I never knew him,

Verse 3
A 
though he
means to know us
And tho' by the Saxon
we once were oppressed
Still I cheered,
D 
God forgive me, I cheered with the rest
And now that he's visited Erin's
green shore
We'll be much better friends than we've been
heretofore
C 
When we've got all we want we're as
quiet as can be
Where the Mountains of Mourne sweep
G 
down to the sea

Verse 4
G 
Bm 
C 
You remember young Peter O'Loughlin,
of course
Am 
D 
Well, now he is here at
C 
G 
the head of the force
Bm 
I met him today,
G 
C 
I was crossing the Strand
Am 
D 
And he stopped the whole street
C 
G 
with wan wave of his hand
D 
And there we stood talkin'
G 
of days that are gone
E 
While the whole population
A 
D 
of London looked on
G 
B 
But for all these great powers
C 
A 
he's wishful like me
D 
C 
To be back where the dark Mourne sweeps
G 
down to the sea

Interlude 1

Verse 5
G 
Bm 
There's beautiful girls here,
G 
C 
oh, never you mind
Am 
D 
With beautiful shapes
C 
G 
nature never designed
Bm 
G 
C 
And lovely complexions all
roses and cream
Am 
A 
D 
But O'Loughlin remarked
C 
G 
with regard to the same
D 
G 
"That if at those roses you
venture to sip
E 
The colours might all
A 
D 
come away on your lip
G 
B 
So I'll wait for the wild rose
C 
A 
that's waitin' for me
D 
Where the Mountains of Mourne
C 
G 
sweep down to the sea
