Verse 1:

  C#m          B   C#m            E   B       C#m
It's of a farmer's daughter, so beautiful I'm told,
     E               B                  C#m               G#m 
Her parents died and left her with five hundred pounds in gold,
   C#m        B    C#m        E                 B
She lived with her uncle, the source of all her woe,
  E                   E/D#        B          C#m
As you will hear, this maiden did prove his overthrow.

C#m      B      E B C#m
[the last bar of the main riff]

Her uncle had a plough-boy, Young Mary loved full well,
And in her uncle's garden their tales of love did tell,
There was a wealthy squire who oft came her to see,
But still she loved her plough-boy on the banks of sweet Dundee

Refrain:
F#m
Her uncle rose one morning and then went straightway,
E
and knocked at her bedroom door and unto her thus did say,
F#m
Come rise up fair maiden, a lady you shall be,
E
For the squire is waiting for you on the banks of sweet Dundee
D                                C#m
A fig for all your squires, your lords and dukes likewise.
E                                  F#m
My Williams hand appears to me like diamonds in my eyes
