Verse:
EmCD
I was twenty-four years old when I met the woman
Em
I would call my own
EmCGC
Twenty-two grand kids now growing old in that house
DEm
that your brother bought ya
EmCD
On the summer day when I proposed, I made that wedding ring
Em
from dentist gold
EmCG
And I asked her father but her daddy said no,
CDEm
you canʼt marry my daughter
Chorus:
GCGDCG
She and I went on the run, donʼt care about religion
GCGCDEm
Iʼm gonna marry the woman I love, down by the Wexford border
GCGDCG
She was Nancy Mulligan, and I was William Sheeran
GCGCDEm
She took my name and then we were one, down by the Wexford border

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

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