Chords for Don Mclean - Mountains O' Mourne

[G] _ Oh Mary, this _ [C] London's a wonderful [Am] sight _ [D] With people here working [G] by day and by night
_ They don't sow potatoes, [C] nor barley, [Am] nor wheat [D] But there's gangs of them digging [Am] for [G] gold in [C] the [G] street
_ [D] At least when I asked [G] them, that's what [D] I was [E] [Em] told [G] So I just [Em] took a hand at [A] this digging [D] for [Am] gold
[G] But for all that I found [D] [Am] there, I [G] might as well [Am] be _ [D] In the place where the dark morn [G] sweeps [C] down [G] to the sea
_ I _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
believe that [Am] when [Bm] writing [C] a wish you [Am] expressed _ [D] As to how the fine ladies [G] in [C] London [G] were dressed
Well if you'll believe [Am] [Bm] me, [C] when [Em] asked [Am] to a ball [D] They don't wear no tops to [C] their [G] dresses at all
_ [D] Oh I've seen them myself [G] and you could not [Em] in truth _ [G] Tell that if [Em] they were bound [A] for a ball or [D] a bath
[G] Don't be starting them [Am]
fashions [Em] [C] now Mary [Em] [Am] MacCree _ [D] In the place where the dark morn [C] sweeps down to [G] the sea _ _ _ _

There's beautiful [Am] girls [Bm] [C] here, oh never [Am] you mind _ [D] Beautiful _ shapes nature [C] [G] never [C] _ [G] designed
_ _ Lovely _ [Am] complexions [G]
[C] of roses [Em] [Am] and cream [D] But let me remark [C] with regard to the [G] same
_ _ [D] That if at those roses [G] you venture [Em] to sip _ [G] The colours [Em] might all come [A] away on [D] your lip
_ [G] So I'll wait for the [Am] wild [G] [C] rose that's [Em] waiting [Am] for me [D] In the place where the dark [Am] morn [G] sweeps [C] [G] down to the sea _ _

You remember [Am] young [G] Denny _ [C]
McLaren of [Am] course _ _ [D] Well he's over here [G] with the rest [C] [G] of the force
_ I saw him one [C] day [G] as [C] he stood [Em] on [Am] the strand [D] _
Stopped all the traffic [G] with a wave [C]
[G] of his hand
_ [D] And as we were talking [G] of days [Em] that are gone [G] The whole town [Em] of London _ [A]
stood there [D] to look on
_ [G] But for all his great powers [C] he's [Am] wishful like me [D] To be back where the dark morn [G] sweeps [C] down [G] to the sea _ _ _ _ _ _ _
