[Verse 1]
Em                      C          D                     Em                        
I was twenty-four years old when I met the woman I would call my own
       Em                 C       G           C               D       Em                   
Twenty-two grand kids now growing old in that house that your brother bought ya
       Em                   C        D                           Em                  
On the summer day when I proposed, I made that wedding ring from dentist gold
      Em                       C          G   C         D        Em

[Chorus 1]
G              C      G    D                  C  G
She and I went on the run, don't care about religion

I'm 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

Well I met her at Guy's in the second world war and she was working on a soldier's ward
      Em              C        G        C      D      Em                   
Never had I seen such beauty before the moment that I saw her
Em                  C        D                      Em                        
Nancy was my yellow rose and we got married wearing borrowed clothes
       Em                 C       G    C         D         Em

I'm 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

From her snow white streak in her jet black hair, over sixty years I've been loving her

Now we're sat by the fire in our old armchairs, you know Nancy I adore ya
       Em                         C     D                         Em                        
From a farm boy born near Belfast town, I never worried about the king and crown
         Em                      C        G                  C          D   Em                   
'Cause I found my heart upon the southern ground, there's no difference I assure ya


[Chorus 3]
G              C      G    D                  C  G
She and I went on the run, don't care about religion
G                   C       G     C           D       Em                  
I'm 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

She took my name and then we were one, down by the Wexford border


[Outro]
G                       C   D
