Mary Danced With Soldiers Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C]

[Verse 1]
She'd [C]slip away each [F]day
with the [G]dimming [C]light
And with the sweetest smile she'd
[F]kiss [G]the child good[C]night
At [F]the mill she'd work her
fingers till [G]they [C]were raw
For the sake of her son and the
[Bb]daddy he [G]never saw
[C]

[Verse 2]
[F]
Mary danced with [C]soldiers
She stepped [G]a light quad[C]rille
[F]Shawl across her sho[C]ulders
To keep away the chill,
[F]to [C]keep away t[G]he chill
[C]

[Verse 3]
It was a rebel boy who [F]brought
her [G]joy they [C]say
Though the years had passed the
memor[F]ies stood [G]fast each [C]day
Before a [F]bullet crushed
the life of [G]their ro[C]mance
He gave her a shawl and a [Bb]para
[G]sol from [C]France

[Verse 4]
[F]
Mary danced with sol[C]diers
She stepped [G]a light quad[C]rille
[F]Shawl across her sho[C]ulders
To keep [G]away the chill,
[C]to [F]kee[C]p away the [G]chill

[Interlude 1]
[C][Bb][Am][F][G][C]
[G]

[Verse 5]
They [C]came around to the
[F]tavern in [G]town [C]that night
And with silent cries Mary
[F]never tri[G]ed to [C]fight
They [F]cut her hair and left her [G]body [C]torn
Her spirit slipped [Bb]away
be[G]fore the dawn
[C]

[Verse 6]
[F]
Mary danced with [C]soldiers
But now her [G]body's [C]still[F]
Shawl across her [C]shoulders
To keep [G]away the chill
[C]

[Verse 7]
[F]
Mary danced with sol[C]diers
She stepped [G]a light quad[C]rille
[F]Shawl across her sho[C]ulders
To keep [G]away the chill,
[C]to [F]kee[C]p away the [G]chill[C]
