Chords for Don McLean - Mountains O'Mourne

_ [G] Oh Mary, this _ [C] London's a [Em] wonderful [Am] sight _ [D] With people here working [G] by day and by night _ _
They don't sow potatoes, [C]
nor barley, [Am] nor wheat [D] But there's gangs of them digging [G] for gold in the street
_ [D] At least when I asked them [G] that's what I [Em] was told [G] So I just [Em] took a hand [Am] at this digging [D] for [Am] gold
[G] But for all that I found [Dm] [C] there I [G] might as [Am] well be _ [D] In the place where the [Am] dark morn [G] sweeps [C] down [G] to the sea
_ I _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ believe that when [Am] [Bm] writing [C] a wish you [Am] expressed [D] As to how the fine ladies [G] in London [C]
[G] were dressed
_ Well if you'll [Am] believe [Bm] me [C] when [Em] asked [Am] to a ball [D] They don't wear no tops to [C] their [G] dresses at all
[D] Oh I've seen them [G] myself and you could not [Em] in truth _ [G] Tell that if [Em] they were bound [A] for a ball [D] or a bath
[G] Don't be starting them [Am] [G] fashions [C] now Mary [Am] MacCree _ [D] In the place where the dark morn [C] sweeps down [G] to the sea _ _ _
_ [Am] _ [G] _ [C] _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ [D] _ [G] _ _
[D] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [Am] _ [Em] _ [C] _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ There's beautiful [Am] girls [Bm] here [C] oh never [Em]
[Am] you mind _ [D] Beautiful _ shapes [C] nature [G] never [C] _
[G] designed
_ Lovely _ [Am] complexions [G] [C] of roses [Em]
[Am] and cream [D] But let me remark [G] with regard [C] to the [G] same
_ [D] That if at those roses [G] you venture [Em]
to sip _ [G] The colours [Em] might all [A] come away on [D] your lip
[G] So I'll wait for the [Am] wild [Bm] [C] rose that's waiting [Am] for me [D] In the place where the dark [Am] morn [G] sweeps [C] down [G] to the sea _ _ _ _
You _ [C] _ _ [Em] _
[Am] _ _ _ [D] _ [G] _ [D] _
_ [Am] _ [D] _ [C] _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ remember young [Am] [G] Denny [C] McLaren of [Am] course [D] Well he's over here with [G] the rest [C] of [G] the force
I saw him one [C] day [G] as [C] he stood [Em] on [Am] the strand _ [D] Stopped all the traffic [G] with a wave [C]
[G] of his hand
_ [D] _ As we were talking [G] of days [Em] that are gone [G] The whole [Em] town of London [A] stood there [D] to look on
_ [G] But for all his great powers [C] he's [Am] wishful like me [D] To be back where the dark morn [G] sweeps down [C] [G] to the sea _
