Great Big Sea - Mary Mac guitar tab

Song: Mari Mac

Band: Great Big Sea

Tabbed by: Chris Newman

Here's a great song by a great Canadian band. It's a traditional

arrangement, so the lyrics are near impossible to find. I've done the best I

could in figuring out what they're saying, although it's quite hard. Anyway,

enjoy!

Mari Mac - Great Big Sea

(Em) There's a cute little lass and her name is Mari-Mac (D)

And make no mistake she's the girl I'm gonna track (Em) Lots of other

fellas try to get her on the back. But I'm (G) thinkin' they'll (A)

have to get up early (Em).

Chorus

(Em) Mari-Macs mother's makin' Mari-Mac marry me

(D) My mother's makin' me marry Mari-Mac

(Em) Well I'm gonna marry Mari cause Mari's takin' care o' me. We'll

(G) all be feelin' (A) marry when (Em) I marry Mari-Mac.

(Em)Now Mari and her mother are an awful lot together

In (D)fact you hardly see the one without the other

And (Em)people often wonder if it's Mari or her mother

Or (G)both of them to(A)gether I'm (Em)courting

(Em)Well up among the heather in the hills of Benafee

Well (D)I had a Bonnie lass sittin' on my knee

A (Em)bumble bee stung me right above the knee

(G)Up among the (A)heather in the (Em)hills of Benafee

(Em)Well I said to bonnie lass how we gonna pass the day

She (D)said among the heather in the hills of Benafee

Where (Em) all the boys and girls are making up a fray

(G)Up among the (A)heather in the (Em)hills of Benafee

(Em)Wedding's on a Wednesday, everything's arranged

(D)Soon you'll never change your mind unless you minus change

Of (Em)making the arrangements and feelings lots of rage

(G)Marriage is an (A)awful under(Em)taking

(Em)Sure to be a grand for grand of that a fair

(D)Gonna be a fork and plate for every man thats there

And (Em)I'll be a bugger if I don't get my share

(G)All though I may be (A)very much mis(Em)taken

(Em)There's a neat little las and her name is Mari Mac

(D)Make no mistake, she's the girl I'm gonna track

(Em)Lot's of other fellas try to get her on her back

But I (G)think they're gonna (A)have to get up (Em)early
