The Mountains of Mourne Intro: G | C Am | D7 | C G Verse: 1 G C Am Oh, Mary, this London's a wonderful sight D7 C G With people here working by day and by night G C Am They don't sow potatoes, nor barley nor wheat D7 G C G But there' gangs of them digging for gold in the streets 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 found there I might as well be D7 C G Where the Mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea. Verse: 2 G C Am I believe that when writin' a wish you expressed D7 C G As to how the fine ladies in London were dressed G C Am Well, if you believe me, when asked to a ball D7 G C G Faith, they don't wear no top to their dresses at all. D7 G Em Oh, I've seen them myself and you could not in truth G Em Am D7 Say if they were bound for a ball or a bath G C Am Don't be startin' them fashions now, Mary Macree, D7 C G Where the mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea. Verse: 3 G C Am You remember young Peter O'Loughlin, of course D7 G C G Well, he's over here now at the head of the force G C Am I met him today, I was crossing the Strand D7 G C G And he stopped the whole street with a wave of his hand D7 G Em And as we were talkin' of days that are gone G Em Am D7 The whole population of London looked on G C Am But for all these great powers he's wishful like me D7 C G To be back where the dark Mourne sweeps down to the sea. Verse: 4 G C Am There's beautiful girls here, oh, never you mind D7 G C G With beautiful shapes nature never designed G C Am And lovely complexions all roses and cream D7 G C G But O'Loughlin remarked with regard to the same D7 G Em That if at those roses you venture to sip G Em Am D7 The colours might all come away on your lip G C Am So I'll wait for the wild rose that's waitin' for me D7 C G Where the Mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea.
