G C Am Oh, Mary, this London's a wonderful sight D7 G With people here working by day and by night G C Am They don't sow potatoes nor barley nor wheat D7 G But there's gangs of them diggin' for gold in the street 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 But for all that I've found there, I might as well Am be D7 G In the place where the dark Mourne sweeps down to the sea I believe that when writin' a wish you expressed As to how the fine ladies in London were dressed Well if you'll believe me, when asked to a ball They don't wear no tops to their dresses at all Oh, I've seen them myself and you could not in truth Tell it if they were bound for a ball or a bath Don't be startin' them fashions now, Mary McRee In the place where the dark Mourne sweeps down to the sea There's beautiful girls here, oh, never you mind Beautiful shapes Nature never designed Lovely complexions of roses and cream But let me remark with regard to the same That if at those roses you venture to sip The colors might all come away on your lip So I'll wait for the wild rose that's waitin' for me In the place where the dark Mourne sweeps down to the sea You remember young Diddy McClaren, of course Well he's over here with the rest of the force I saw him one day as he stood on the Strand Stopped all the traffic with a wave of his hand And as we were talking of days that are gone The whole town of London stood there to look on But for all his great powers, he's wishful like me To be back where the dark Mourne sweeps down to the sea | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm C D7 Em G Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
