[Verse 1]
                        C
I was twenty four years old
       D                     Em
When I met the woman I would call my own
                         C       G
Twenty two grandkids now growing old,
       C               D       Em
in the house that your brother brought ya

Em C G C D Em
                             C
On the summer day when I proposed,
   D                           Em
I made that wedding ring from dentist gold
                               C          G
And I asked her father but her daddy said no,
 C         D         Em
“you can’t marry my daughter”

[Chorus]
G              C      G
She and I went on the run
D                   C  G
Don’t care about religion
                    C        G
I’m gonna marry the woman I love
C           D       Em
Down by the Wexford border
G              C    G
She was Nancy Mulligan,
    D                D G
and I was William Sheeran
                          C       G
She took my name and then we were one
C           D       Em
Down by the Wexford border

[Verse 2]
                                           C
Well I met at her Guys in the second world war
D                    Em
She was working on a soldier’s ward

                       C        G
Never had I seen such beauty before
    C      D      Em
The moment that I saw her
                    C
Nancy was my yellow rose
    D                      Em
And we got married wearing borrowed clothes
                          C       G
We got eight children now growing old
C         D          Em
Five sons and three daughters

[Chorus]
G              C      G
She and I went on the run
D                   C  G
Don’t care about religion
                    C        G
I’m gonna marry the woman I love
C           D       Em
Down by the Wexford border
G              C    G
She was Nancy Mulligan,
    D                D G
and I was William Sheeran
                          C       G
She took my name and then we were one
C           D       Em
Down by the Wexford border

[Verse 3]
         Em                                 C
From her snow white streak in her jet black hair
      D                    Em
Over sixty years I’ve been loving her
                                  C         G
Now we’re sat by the fire, in our old armchairs
         C     D   Em
You know nancy I adore ya
                                  C   D
From a farm boy born near belfast town
                          Em
I never worried about the king and crown
                                C        G
Cause I found my heart upon the southern ground
           C           D    Em
There’s no difference, I assure ya

[Chorus]
G              C      G
She and I went on the run
D                   C  G
Don’t care about religion
                    C        G
I’m gonna marry the woman I love
C           D       Em
Down by the Wexford border
G              C    G
She was Nancy Mulligan,
    D                D G
and I was William Sheeran
                          C       G
She took my name and then we were one
C           D       Em
Down by the Wexford border
