[A] [Bm]
[F#] [Bm] Where true lovers meet, down [A] beside the [F#m] green bower,
[Bm] Where true [F#m] lovers meet, down beneath the green [Bm] tree,
There Mary fond Mary, [A] declared to [F#m] her lover,
You [Bm] have stolen [F#m] my poor heart by the banks [Bm] of the Lee.
I loved her very dearly, [A] most truly [F#m] and sincerely,
[Bm] There was no one [A] in this wide world [F#m] I loved more than [Bm] she.
Every bush and every bower, [A] every wild [F#] Irish flower,
[Bm]
Reminds me [F#m] of my Mary by the banks [Bm] of the Lee.
[D] [B]
[Bm] [F#] [Bm]
Don't stay out too late, love, [F#m] on the moorlands, my Mary,
[Bm] Don't stay out [F#m] too late, love, on the moorlands from [Bm] me,
For little was our notion, [A] when we parted [F#m] by the ocean,
[Bm] That we were forever [A]
parted from [F#m] the banks of [Bm] the Lee.
I loved her very dearly, [A] most truly [F#m] and sincerely,
[Bm] There was no one in [F#m] this wide world I loved more [F#] than [Bm] she.
Every bush and every bower, [F#m] every wild [F#] Irish flower,
[Bm] Reminds me [F#m] of my Mary by the banks of the [Bm] Lee.
[E] [Bm]
[Bm] I will pluck for her some roses, [A] some [F#m] wild Irish roses,
[Bm] I will pluck [F#m] for her some roses, the fairest that ever [Bm] grew,
And I'll lay them on the graveside of [A] my own dear [F#m] darling Mary,
[Bm] In that cold and [A] silent churchyard [F#m] where she sleeps [Bm] neath the dew.
I loved her very dearly, [A] most truly [F#m] and sincerely,
[G#] There was no one [F#m] in this wide world I loved more [Bm] than she.
Every bush and every bower, [F#m] every wild Irish [F#] flower,
[Bm] Reminds me [F#m] of my Mary by the banks [C#m]
of the Lee.
Reminds me of [A] my Mary [F#m] by the [A] banks of the [Bm] Lee.
