STEP IT OUT MARY (The High Kings' version) Tabbed by Fabrizio Luglio (fablug@yahoo.it) Too many tabs of this song on the web are completely wrong so I decided to post my version. Hope you enjoy :-) The basic riff goes: Dm C Am Bb all the times Dm So step it out, Mary, my fine daughter C Step it out, marry, if you can Am Step it out, Mary, my fine daughter Bb Show your legs to the countryman (x2)
Dm C In the village of Kilgory, there's a maiden young and fair Am Bb Her eyes shine like diamonds, she has long and golden hair Dm C The horseman he comes riding, riding up to her father's gates Am Bb On a pure-white stallion, he comes at the strike of eight. Chorus: Dm So step it out, Mary, my fine daughter C Step it out, marry, if you can Am Step it out, Mary, my fine daughter Bb Show your legs to the countryman (x2) Dm C I have come to court your daughter, Mary of the golden hair Am Bb I have gold and I have silver, I have goods beyond compare Dm C I will buy her silks and satin and a gold ring for her hand Am Bb She shall have a mansion, she'll have servants to command Chorus: Dm So step it out, Mary, my fine daughter C Step it out, marry, if you can Am Step it out, Mary, my fine daughter Bb Show your legs to the countryman (x2) Dm C I don't want your gold and silver, I don't want your house and land Am Bb I am in love with a soldier, I have promised him my hand Dm C But the father spoke up sharply: You will do as i command, Am Bb You'll get married on a Sunday and you'll wear that wedding band Chorus: Dm So step it out, Mary, my fine daughter C Step it out, marry, if you can Am Step it out, Mary, my fine daughter Bb Show your legs to the countryman (x2) D Bm In the village of Kilgory there's a deep stream flowing by G Bm A On her wedding day at midnight she drowns with her soldier boy G Bm In the cottage there is music, you can hear her father say: G Bm A G Oh step it out, Mary, my fine daughter, Sunday is your wedding day. Bm A G Sunday is your wedding day. (x2) Dm So step it out, Mary, my fine daughter C Step it out, marry, if you can Am Step it out, Mary, my fine daughter Bb Show your legs to the countryman (x4) BE AWARE: the last times the riff goes it changes like this: Dm C C/B Am Dm So step it out, Mary, my fine daughter C Step it out, marry, if you can C/B Step it out, Mary, my fine daughter Am
