D

[Verse 1]
D          A7               D
I hear the sound of distant drums
     A7        D
Far away, far away
            A7             D
And if they call for me to come

[Chorus]
     G      D       A7       D
Then I must go, and you must stay

[Verse 2]
N.C.      D         D7        G
So, Mary, marry me, let's not wait
            A7                                  D
Let's share all the time we can before it's too late
N.C.        D               D7                     G
And love me now, for now is all the time there may be
       A7                         D
If you love me, Mary, Mary, marry me
           A7              D
I hear the sound of bugles blow
     A7       D
Far away, far away
            A7               D
And if they call, then I must go

[Chorus]
 G         D       A7       D
Across the sea, so wild and free

[Verse 3]
N.C.      D         D7        G
So, Mary, marry me, let's not wait
        A7                                     D
For the distant drums might change our wedding day
N.C.        D               D7                     G
And love me now, for now is all the time there may be
       A7                         D
If you love me, Mary, Mary, marry me
D
