Distant Drums

	  		           A        D       G 
I hear the sound of distant drums 
    A     D    G 
Far away, far away 
            A        D     G 
And if they call for me to come 
            D                G 
Then I must go and you must stay 
 
 
        D                   G 
So Mary marry me, let's not wait 
            A               A7                  D 
Let's share all the time we can before it's too late 
 -      (D)                                    G  
Love me now for now is all the time there may be 
       A             A7         D 
If you love me Mary, Mary marry me 
 
 
I hear the sound of bugles blow 
Far away, far away 
And if they call, then I must go 
Across the sea, so wild and grey.  
 
So Mary marry me, let's not wait 
For the distant drums might change our wedding date  
And love me now, for now is all the time there may be 
If you love me Mary, Mary marry me
