Verse 1
(D major) Oh, Mary, (G major) this London's a
(C major) wonderful sight (A minor)
(D major) With people here working by
(G major) day and by night
They don't sow potatoes
nor barley (C major) (A minor) nor wheat
(D major) But there's gangs of them dig (A minor) gin'
(D major) For gold (G major) in the street
(D major) At least when I asked them
That's what I (G major) was (E minor) told so (G major)
I just took a (E minor) hand
At this (A minor) diggin' (D major) for gold
But for (G major) all that I've found there
(D major) I (C major) might as well (A minor) be
(D major) In the place where the dark (A minor) Mourne
Sweeps (G major) down to the sea

Verse 2
(G major) I believe that when writ (A minor) in'
(G major) A (C major) wish you expressed
(A minor) As (D major) to how the fine ladies
In Lon (G major) don (C major) were dressed (G major)
Well if you'll believe me (A minor)
(G major) When asked (C major) to a ball (A minor)
(D major) They don't wear no tops to
Their (G major) dresses at all
(D major) Oh, I've seen them myself and
(G major) You could not in truth (E minor)
Tell (G major) it if they were (E minor) bound for
A ball (A major) or a bath (D major)
Don't (G major) be startin' them fashions (A minor) now
(C major) Mary (A minor) McRee
In (D major) the place where the dark Mourne
Sweep (C major) s down to the sea

Verse 3
There's (G major) beautiful girls (A minor) here, (D major) oh
(C major) Never you mind (A minor)
Beau (D major) tiful shapes Nature nev (G major) er (C major) designed
(G major) Lovely complex (A minor) ions
of roses (C major) (A minor) and cream
But (D major) let me remark with
regard (G major) to the (C major) same (G major)
(D major) That if at those roses you (G major)
venture to sip (E minor)
The colors (G major) might all (E minor) come
away (A major) on your (D major) lip
So (G major) I'll wait for the wild
(A minor) Rose (C major) that's waitin' for (A minor) me
In (D major) the place where the dark Mourne
Sweep (G major) s down (C major) to the (G major) sea

Verse 4
(G major) You remember young Diddy (A minor)
(C major) McClaren, of course (A minor)
(D major) Well he's over here with the
Rest (G major) of (C major) the for (G major) ce
I saw him one day (A minor) as he
(C major) stood on the Strand (A minor)
(D major) Stopped all the traffic with a
Wave (G major) (C major) of his hand (G major)
(D major) And as we were talking of
days (G major) that are (E minor) gone
(G major) The whole town of (E minor) London stood
(A major) There to look on (D major)
(G major) But for all his great powers (A minor)
He's (C major) wishful (A minor) like me
To be (D major) back where the dark Mourne
Sweeps down (C major) to the sea
