(Verse 1)
[D#]I was twenty-four years [A#]old when I [Cb]met the woman I would [D#]call my own
Twenty-[D#]two grand kids now [A#]growing [Db]old in that [A#]house that your [Cb]brother [D#]bought ya
On the [D#]summer day when I [A#]proposed, I [Cb]made that wedding ring from [D#]dentist gold
And I [D#]asked her father but her [A#]daddy said [Db]no, [A#]you can't [Cb]marry my [D#]daughter

(Chorus 1)
[Db]She and I went [A#]on the [Db]run, [Cb]don't care about [A#]religion[Db]
[Db]I'm gonna marry the [A#]woman I [Db]love, [A#]down by the [Cb]Wexford [D#]border
[Db]She was Nancy [A#]Mulligan[Db], and [Cb]I was William [A#]Sheeran[Db]
She [Db]took my name and then [A#]we were [Db]one, [A#]down by the [Cb]Wexford [D#]border

[D#] [A#] [Cb] [D#]
[D#] [A#] [Db] [A#] [Cb] [D#]

Verse 2:
Well I [D#]met her at Guy's in the second world [A#]war and [Cb]she was working on a [D#]soldier's ward
Never [D#]had I seen such [A#]beauty [Db]before the [A#]moment [Cb]that I [D#]saw her
[D#]Nancy was my yellow [A#]rose and [Cb]we got married wearing [D#]borrowed clothes
We got [D#]eight children now [A#]growing [Db]old, [A#]five sons [Cb]and three [D#]daughters

(Chorus 2)
[Db]She and I went [A#]on the [Db]run, [Cb]don't care about [A#]religion[Db]
[Db]I'm gonna marry the [A#]woman I [Db]love, [A#]down by the [Cb]Wexford [D#]border
[Db]She was Nancy [A#]Mulligan[Db], and [Cb]I was William [A#]Sheeran[Db]
She [Db]took my name and then [A#]we were [Db]one, [A#]down by the [Cb]Wexford [D#]border

(Interlude)
[Db]Di da-da-da-da-da di-da-[A#]di, [Cb]di da-da-da-da-da di-da-di, da da
[Db]Di da-da-da-da-da di-da-[A#]di, [Cb]di da-da-da-da-da [Db]di
[Db]Di da-da-da-da-da di-da-[A#]di, [Cb]di da-da-da-da-da di-da-di, da da
[Db]Di da-da-da-da-da di-da-[A#]di, [Cb]di da-da-da-da-da [Db]di

(Verse 3)
From her [D#]snow white streak in her jet black [A#]hair, over [Cb]sixty years I've been [D#]loving her
Now we're [D#]sat by the fire in our [A#]old [Db]armchairs, you know [A#]Nancy [Cb]I [D#]adore ya
From a [D#]farm boy born near Belfast [A#]town, [Cb]I never worried about the [D#]king and crown
'Cause I [D#]found my heart upon the [A#]southern [Db]ground, there's no [A#]difference [Cb]I [D#]assure ya

(Chorus 3)
[Db]She and I went [A#]on the [Db]run, [Cb]don't care about [A#]religion[Db]
[Db]I'm gonna marry the [A#]woman I [Db]love, [A#]down by the [Cb]Wexford [D#]border
[Db]She was Nancy [A#]Mulligan[Db], and [Cb]I was William [A#]Sheeran[Db]
She [Db]took my name and then [A#]we were [Db]one, [A#]down by the [Cb]Wexford [D#]border

(Outro)
