Mary Of The Wild Moor Chords

  			
3/4 time 

C        G7            C 
Was on a cold winter's night 
                   D7             G7 
And the wind blew across the wild moor 
   C              G7        C             F 
As poor Mary came wandering home with her child  
         C           G7           C 
Till she came to her own father's door 

               G7         C 
Oh father dear father she cried 
              D7       G7 
Come down and open the door 
   C                G7        C          F 
Or this child in my arms will perish and die 
         C               G7              C 
From the winds that blow across the wild moor 

               G7          C 
Her father was deaf to her cry 
                   D7           G7 
Not a sound of her voice did he hear 
        C              G7           C             F 
For the watch dogs did howl and the village bells tolled 
        C          G7              C 
And the winds blew across the wild moor 

               G7            C 
Oh how the old man must have felt 
                    D7            G7 
When he came to the door the next morn' 
    C          G7           C           F 
And found Mary dead but the child still alive 
        C               G7            C 
Closely clasped in it's dead mother's arms 

              G7            C 
In anguish he tore his gray hair 
                         D7              G7 
While the tears down his cheeks they did pour 
        C             G7       C           F 
Then he saw that Mary died the gay village bride 
         C               G7              C 
From the winds that blow across the wild moor 

                  G7            C 
But the villagers point out the spot 
                  D7            G7 
Where the willows weep over the door 
       C          G7            C           F 
Saying there Mary died once the gay village bride 
         C               G7              C 
From the winds that blow across the wild moor
