I [N]
hear [A] the sound of [D] distant drums [A] far away, [D] far away.
And if [A] they call for [F#m] me [D] to come, then I must go and [F#m]
you [D] must stay.
Marry, marry me, let's [G] not wait.
Let's [A] share all the time we can before [D] it's too late.
Love me now, for now is all the time [G] there may be.
If [A] you love me, marry, marry, [D] marry me.
I hear [A] the sound of [D] bugles blowing far
[A] away, [D] far away.
And if [A] they call, then I [D] must go [G]
[D] across the sea [A] so wild [D] and gray.
Marry, marry me, [G] let's not wait.
[A] For the distant drums might change our [D] wedding day.
Love me now, for now is all the time [G] there may be.
If [A] you love me, marry, marry, [D] marry me.
