Verse:
D#m                      B          C#
I was twenty-four years old when I met the woman
         D#m
I would call my own
       D#m                 B       F#           B
Twenty-two grand kids now growing old in that house
          C#       D#m
that your brother bought ya
       D#m                   B        C#
On the summer day when I proposed, I made that wedding ring
      D#m
from dentist gold
      D#m                       B          F#
And I asked her father but her daddy said no,
 B         C#        D#m
you canʼt marry my daughter

Chorus:
F#              B      F#    C#                  B  F#
She and I went on the run, donʼt care about religion
F#                   B       F#     B           C#       D#m
Iʼm gonna marry the woman I love, down by the Wexford border
F#             B    F#        C#             B   F#
She was Nancy Mulligan, and I was William Sheeran
    F#                     B       F#    B           C#       D#m
She took my name and then we were one, down by the Wexford border

D#m  B C#   D#m
D#m  B F# B C#  D#m

Verse:
       D#m                                   B
Well I met her at Guyʼs in the second world war
    C#                    D#m
and she was working on a soldierʼs ward
      D#m              B        F#        B      C#      D#m
Never had I seen such beauty before the moment that I saw her
D#m                  B        C#
Nancy was my yellow rose and we got married wearing
D#m
borrowed clothes
       D#m                 B       F#    B
We got eight children now growing old, five sons
C#         D#m
and three daughters

Chorus:
F#              B      F#    C#                  B  F#
She and I went on the run, donʼt care about religion
F#                   B       F#     B           C#       D#m
Iʼm gonna marry the woman I love, down by the Wexford border
F#             B    F#        C#             B   F#
She was Nancy Mulligan, and I was William Sheeran
    F#                     B       F#    B           C#       D#m
She took my name and then we were one, down by the Wexford border

Verse:
         D#m                                 B
From her snow white streak in her jet black hair,
     C#                     D#m
over sixty years Iʼve been loving her
          D#m                     B      F#
Now weʼre sat by the fire in our old armchairs,
         B     C#  D#m
you know Nancy I adore ya
       D#m                         B
From a farm boy born near Belfast town,
 C#                         D#m
I never worried about the king and crown
         D#m                      B        F#
ʼCause I found my heart upon the southern ground,
           B          C#   D#m
thereʼs no difference I assure ya

Chorus:
F#              B      F#    C#                  B  F#
She and I went on the run, donʼt care about religion
F#                   B       F#     B           C#       D#m
Iʼm gonna marry the woman I love, down by the Wexford border
F#             B    F#        C#             B   F#
She was Nancy Mulligan, and I was William Sheeran
    F#                     B       F#    B           C#       D#m
She took my name and then we were one, down by the Wexford border
