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

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

Em  C G C D  Em

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

Chorus:
G              C      G    D                  C  G

G                   C       G     C           D       Em
Iʼm gonna marry the woman I love, down by the Wexford border
G             C    G        D             C   G
She was Nancy Mulligan, and I was William Sheeran
    G                     C       G    C           D       Em
She took my name and then we were one, down by the Wexford border

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

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