Mary
Noah and the Whale
Capo on the 5th Fret
Works really well with a tin whistle. If you randomly have one around...
First tab I've written so feel free to be brutally critical of anything wrong.

G C
Oh the cold wet wind blew over the heather
G C
You wrote Charlie and Mary for forever
G C
On the back of a rock
G C
That you picked up on the way
G C
And in that perfect moment I nearly ruined it
G C
By saying I love you and nearly meaning it
G C G C
But you know I would never waste those words
D C G
Oh when I last saw Mary she lied and said it was her birthday
D C G
Oh when I last saw Mary she lied and said it was her birthday

G C
But then she tried to kiss me and I said don't bother
G C
You know we don't really love one another
G C
And there's no use
G C
In burning out this flame
G C
Oh but then things changed in a way I couldn't predict
G C
She said I love you and it suddenly clicked
G C G C
That she was only saying what she wanted me to hear
D C G
And I said please don't lie to me Mary
D C G
And I said please don't lie to me Mary
I said
D
Please don't lie
C G
Oh it makes me cry in bed
I said
D
Please don't lie
C G
Oh it makes me cry in bed
I said
D
Please don't lie
C G
Oh it makes me cry in bed
And she said
D
Shut your mouth
C G
You don't know what you're talking about
Oh she said
D
Shut your mouth
C G
You don't know what you're talking about
