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 Please rate for accuracy!
