Mary’s Pub - Amble
Intro]
G C D
[Verse 1]
G C D
G
She put it right between my lips
C
And I bit down with the light
G
And I asked her had she anything
D
She handed me a light
G
And with that light I took a drag
C
And I watched the world go by
G
You were mine and I was yours
D G
And our limit was the sky
[Chorus]
C G
And we watched time go by
Well I told her ask me anything
D
She asked me how to cry
G C
And when I think of you I know forever I will be
G D G
Happy as the fool because together we are free
[Verse 2]
G
Well we cantered on by the statue
C
Where once Phil Lynott stood
G D
Met by his scobie being hoisted outside Mary's Pub
G
He'd never seen the like before
C
Rare seemed so daft
G D G
And the cobbles were lit up by the enchantment of your laugh
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
G C
Well we watched the buskers play a tune in lower Grafton Street
G D
And I tried to grab your finger but I wasn't so discreet
G C
You smiled and braced my hand and pulled me into some old bar
G D G
And we drank a drop and we twirled and talked about our lives so far
[Chorus]
[Verse 4]
G
Well he swallowed down his last drop
C
And began to feel the heat
G D
And he gestured to the bar man that it was his time to leave
G C
With a cap upon his head he thought of home in Skibbereen
G D G
Said we were the finest couple that his eyes had ever seen
[Chorus]
[Bridge]

G
[Verse 5]
G C
And as she boards her plane back to her home in Amsterdam
G D
She'll study for the year, before turning to her land
G C
She said she loves a man and he is stationed far away
G D G
With him her precious love, she says, forever it will stay
[Chorus]
