The Song Words And Easy Guitar Chords In The Key Of G Major

Come [G]all you lads of high renown
That will hear of a [D7]fair young [G]maiden
[Alt: On the lofty mountains far away,
there dwells a comely maiden]
And she roved out on a [C]summer's [G]day
For to view the [D7]soldier's pa[G]rading
They march so bold and they [C]look so [G]gay[D7],
The [Em]colours flyin' and the [C]bands did [D7]play
And it [G]caused young [Em]Mary [C]for to [D7]say,
 I'll [G]wed you me [D7]gallant [G]soldier"
 
She [G]viewed the soldiers on parade
And as they [D7]stood at their [G]leisure
Young Mary to her[C]self did [G]say:
"At last I [D7]found my [G]treasure
But oh how cruel my [C]parents must [G]be[D7]
To [Em]banish my darlin' so [C]far from [D7]me
Well I'll [G]leave them [Em]all and I'll [C]go with [D7]thee
Me [G]bold un[D7]doubted [G]soldier"
 
"Oh [G]Mary dear, your parents' love,
I pray don't [D7]be un[G]ruly 
For when you're in a [C]foreign [G]land,
Believe me you'll [D7]rue it [G]surely
Perhaps in battle [C]I might [G]fall[D7]
From a [Em]shot from an angry [C]cannon[D7]ball
And [G]you so [Em]far from your [C]daddy's [D7]hall
Be ad[G]vised by a [D7]gallant [G]soldier."
 
"Oh I have [G]fifty guineas [n my coat,
Likewise a [D7]heart that's [G]bolder
And I'd leave them all and I'd [C]go with [G]you
Me bold un[D7]daunted [G]soldier
So don't say no but [C]let me [G]go[D7]
And [Em]I will face the [C]daring [D7]foe
And we'll [G]march to[Em]gether [C]to and [D7]fro
And I'll [G]wed you, my [D7]gallant [G]soldier"
 
And [G]when he saw her loyalty
And Mary [D7]so true-[G]hearted
He said: "Me darling, [C]married we'll [G]be,
And nothing but [D7]death will [G]part us
And when we're in a [C]foreign [G]land[D7]
I'll [Em]guard you, darling, with [C]my right [D7]hand
And [G]hopes that [Em]God might [C]stand a [D7]friend
To [G]Mary and her [D7]gallant [G]soldier"
