Verse 1:
B                         B
Mary used to dance by the old stone quay
E                     E
Barefoot wild full of reverie
B                        B
She traded songs for the subway lines
E                 E
Coffee breaks and overtime

Pre-chorus 1:
Abm             Gb                 E
One last time I tried to bring her home
            Abm                        Gb               E
'Cause it's cold out there when you're swimming on your own
     (nc)
So I said to Mary

Chorus:
B
Hey ho take my hand
E
Dance with me in the golden sands
B
Oh no she's so bold
E
The waves roll in and she won't let go
Abm     Gb     E
Holding on too tight
         Abm      Gb     E
She was washed up by the tide
         (nc)           B
Yeah the tide took Mary
E                         B
 Yeah the tide took Mary
E         (nc)
 Yeah the tide took Mary

Verse 2:
  B                 B
I found her staring at the shore
E                       E
 Said you don't have to run no more
    B                    B
The tide don't care what you don't know
   E              E
So come home love just come home

Pre-chorus 2:
Abm             Gb                E
One last time I tried to hold her close
            Abm                        Gb               E
'Cause it's cold out there when you're swimming on your own
     (nc)
So I said to Mary

Chorus:
B
Hey ho take my hand
E
Dance with me in the golden sands
B
Oh no she's so bold
E
The waves roll in and she won't let go
Abm     Gb     E
Holding on too tight
         Abm      Gb     E
She was washed up by the tide
         (nc)           B
Yeah the tide took Mary

 Yeah the tide took Mary

 Yeah the tide took Mary

Abm     Gb     E
Way off in the night

She was washed up by the tide

Yeah the tide took Mary

B
Hey ho, take my hand

Dance with me in the golden sands
B
Oh no, she's so bold
