Chords for Niamh Farrell - Mary and the soldier

[G#] How are you all doing?
[G] _ _ _ It's wonderful to be in Ennis.
We're more than happy.
We've already sat in the hands
beside the church and we've walked up the streets
and we've danced in an Ardway in Queen's.
So I think we've done most of what's to be done in Ennis.
We've shopped in all the boutique stores also.
Very exciting.
We're going to do a song now.
This is a song we learned from [A] Paul Brady
and it's called Marrying the Soldier.
It's one of our favourite songs.
[N] So if you know it, be sure to sing along with us.
Give us a bit of support. _

She built the soldiers on parade
