I [B]
[F] hear the sound of [Bb] distant drums [F] far away, [Bb] far away.
And if [F] they call for me [Bb] to come, [Eb] then [Bb] I must go [F]
and you [Bb] must stay.
[Eb] [Bb]
So [Bb] marry, marry me, [Eb] let's not leave, let's [F] share all the time we can before [Bb] it's too late.
And love me now, for [Dm] now [Bb] is all the time [Eb] there may be.
And [F] if you love me, marry,
[Cm] marry, [F] [Bb] marry me.
[Eb] [B]
I [F] hear the sound of bugles blow far [Gm] [F] away, far [Bb] away.
And [F] if they call, then [Bb] I must go.
[Eb] Who knows where [F] or who can [Eb] say?
[Bb] So marry, marry me, [Eb] let's not wait, for [F] those distant drums might change our [Bb] wedding day.
And love me now, for [Dm] now is all the time [Eb] there may be.
And if [F] you love me, marry,
[Eb] marry, [Bb] marry me.
Yes, if [F] you love me, marry, marry, [Bb] marry me.
