[Verse 1]
G C Am
Oh, Mary, this London's a wonderful sight
D7 G
With people here working by day and by night
G C Am
They don't sow potatoes nor barley nor wheat
D7 G
But there's gangs of them diggin' for gold in the
street
D7 G Em
At least when I asked them, that's what I was told
G Em Am D7
So I just took a hand at this diggin' for gold
G C Am
But for all that I've found there, I might as well be
D7 G
In the place where the dark Mourne sweeps down to the
sea

[Verse 2]
G C Am
I believe that when writin' a wish you expressed
D7 G
As to how the fine ladies of London were dressed
G C Am
But if you'll believe me, when asked to a ball
D7 G
They don't wear no tops to their dresses at all
D7 G Em
Oh, I've seen them myself and you could not in truth
G Em Am D7
Tell if they were bound for a ball or a bath
G C Am
Don't be startin' them fashions now, "Mary mo chroí",
D7 G
In the place where the dark Mourne sweeps down to the
sea
[Instrumental]
G C/G G C Am D D7 G C/G G (x2)
[Verse 3]
G C Am
There's beautiful girls here, oh, never you mind
D7 G
Beautiful shapes nature never designed
G C Am
Lovely complexions of roses and cream
D7 G
But let me remark with regard to the same
D7 G Em
That if at those roses you venture to sip
G Em Am D7
The colors might all come away on your lip
G C Am
So I'll wait for the wild rose that's waitin' for me
D7 G
In the place where the dark Mourne sweeps down to the
sea
[Instrumental]

[Verse 4]
G C Am
You remember young Danny McClaren, of course
D7 G
But he's over here with the rest of the force
G C Am
I saw him one day as he stood on the strand
D7 G
Stopped all the traffic with a wave of his hand
D7 G Em
As we were talking of days that are gone
G Em Am D7
The whole town of London stood there to look on
G C Am
But for all his great powers, he's wishful like me
D7 G
To be back where the dark Mourne sweeps down to the sea
C/G G
