I  hear  the sound  of  dist-ant  druns
-3   4  -4        5   -4   4
Far  a-way  ---  Far  a - way
 4    -3    4     -4
And  when  they  call
 4    5   -4    4 
For  me  they  come
  4  -5   -5    5 
Then  I  must  go
 4    5    -4    4
And  you  must  stay
 3   2  3   5    5    5     5     -4    4 
So  Ma-ry  mar - ry  me,  let's  not  wait
 -3      4     -4   -4   -4    5   -5
Let's  share  all  the  time  we  can
-5  -5    5    -4    5
Before  it's  too  late
 4     2   -3   5
And  love  me  now
 5     5   5   5    5     5     4    -4  4
For  now  is  all  the  time  there  may be
 4    -3  4    -4   -4  
And  if  you  love  me
-4  5  -5 -5   5  -4  4
Ma-ry  Ma-ry  Mar-ry  me
