Mary’s Eyes Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][C][Dm]
[D]Mary's eyes

[Verse 1]
[G]
are startling blue
And her [C]hair's [Dm]New
[C]castle [Dm]gold[C]
And she [G]walks the thin white line
Between the [D]body and [Dm]the soul
[C]She's as [G]faithful to her history
As [Em]a novice to his [G]fast
[Em]For she is s[Am]tanding on the b[G]ones
Of Ireland's [Dsus4]past[D]

[Verse 2]
She [Em]is singing of the troubles
And [G]a fire [Bm]in the land
'Til I can [C]almost feel the [G]famine
Slipping [Dsus4]through my trembling h[D]and
[Em]And I wonder as I hear her
That [Bm]the spirit still shines [D]through
And she [G]can [C]reach across the [Em]ocean deep
And [Am]break my [Dsus4]heart in [D]two[G]

[Interlude 1]
[C][Dm][G][C][Dm]

[Verse 3]
Mary's [G]wise as she is foolish
She's as [Em]constant as the tide
[G]For it'[C]s a woman's heart
that beat[G]s beneath
That [D]stubborn Irish pride
We [G]are saints and we are sin[D]ner[G]s
We are [Em]heroes [G]we [C]are thieves[G]
[C]We are all of us [G]beginner[Em]s
[G]On the [D]road to Galilee

[Verse 4]
[Em]She is singing of the troubles
And [G]a fire [Bm]in the land
'Til [G]I can a[C]lmost feel the f[G]amine
[Em]Slipping t[Am]hrough my trembling [D]hand
[Em]And I wonder as I hear her
That [Bm]the spirit still shines through
And she can [C]reach across the [Em]ocean deep
[C]And [Am]break my [D]heart in [G]two
[F]

[Interlude 2]
[C][G][F][C][F][C]

[Verse 5]
So let [G]us hoist a pint of silence
To [Em]the east where Ireland [G]lies
[C]And we'll stare across the wa[G]ters
For [D]a g[Dsus4]limpse of Ma[D]ry's eyes
We are [G]ships without a har[D]bour
[G]We are sai[Em]lors on dry land
[C]And the song goes on forever
Even [Dsus4]though the record can't
[D]

[Verse 6]
She [Em]is singing of the troubles
And a [G]fire [Bm]in the land
'Til [C]I can almost feel the [Em]famine
Slipping [Am]through my trembling [D]hand
[Em]And I wonder as I hear her
That the [Bm]spirit still shines through
And [G]she can [C]reach across
the [G]ocean [Em]deep
And [Am]break my [D]heart in two

[Outro 1]
