Emmylou Harris with The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Mary Danced With Soldiers Chords

[F#] _ _ [C#] _ _ 1 2 3 4 _ _ _
_ _ _ _ She'd slip [F#] away [G#] each day [C#] with a dimming light
And with the sweetest [F#] smile [C#] she'd kiss the child goodnight
Up [F#] the hill she'd work her [C#] fingers till they were raw
For the sake of [B] her son and [G#] the daddy he [C#] never saw _ _
[F#] Mary [C#] danced the soldiers, [G#] she stepped a [C#] light [F#] quadrille
Shawl [C#] across her shoulders to keep away the [F#] chill
[C#] To keep away the chill
She was a rebel [F#] boy who [G#] brought her [C#] joy they say _
Though the years had [F#] passed the [G#] memories had [C#] passed each day
_ [F#] Before a bullet crossed her [G#] life, [C#] their old man
He gave her a [B] shawl and a [G#] pair of [C#] silky reds _
[F#] Mary [C#] danced the soldiers, [G#] she stepped a [C#] light quadrille
[F#] Shawl [C#] across her shoulders [G#] to keep [C#] away the [F#] chill
[C#] To [G#] keep [C#] away the chill
They [B] _ _
_ _ [A#m] _ _ [F#] _ _
[G#] _ _ [C#] _ _ [G#] _ _
_ _ [C#] came [F#] around to the [C#] deberning town that night
And with silent [F#] pride [G#] Mary never [C#] tried to fight
[F#] She cut her hair and [G#] left her [C#] body dark
Her spirit [B] slipped [G#] away [C#] before the dawn
_ [F#] Mary [C#] danced the soldiers, [G#] but now [C#] her body is [F#] still
Shawl [C#] across her shoulders to keep away the chill
[F#] [C#] Mary danced the soldiers, [G#] she stepped [C#] a light [F#] quadrille
[C#] Shawl across her shoulders [G#] to keep [C#] away the [F#]
[C#] chill
[G#] To keep [C#] away the chill _ _
