Nitty Gritty Dirt Band – Mary Danced With Soldiers chords

[Verse]
G                     C                    GShe'd slip away each day with the dimming light
G                                  C                   GAnd with the sweetest smile she'd kiss the child goodnight
         C                                         GAt the mill she'd work her fingers till they were raw
Em                              D                GFor the sake of her son and the daddy he never saw

[Chorus]
C                   GMary danced with soldiers
                         EmShe stepped a light quadrille
C                   GShawl across her shoulders
                 Em C                     GTo keep away the chill, to keep away the chill

[Verse]
G                        C                   GIt was a rebel boy who brought her joy they say
G                                    C                    GThough the years had passed the memories stood fast each day
           C                                  GBefore a bullet crushed the life of their romance
Em                       D                GHe gave her a shawl and a parasol from France

[Chorus]
C                   GMary danced with soldiers
                         EmShe stepped a light quadrille
C                   GShawl across her shoulders
                 Em C                     GTo keep away the chill, to keep away the chill

[Verse]
G                        C                   GThey came around to the tavern in town that night
G                       C                    GAnd with silent cries Mary never tried to fight
      C                               GThey cut her hair and left her body torn
Em                  D                GHer spirit slipped away before the dawn

[Chorus]
C                   GMary danced with soldiers
                     EmBut now her body's still
C                   GShawl across her shoulders
    C              GTo keep away the chill

[Chorus]
C                   GMary danced with soldiers
                         EmShe stepped a light quadrille
C                   GShawl across her shoulders
                 Em C                     GTo keep away the chill, to keep away the chill
