[Verse 1]
Am7
Mary was my mother's mother and my sister too
G                                    D
There's rain in the river there's a river running through
Am7
To the sea around these islands crying tears of sorrow, pain
G                                     D
There's rain in the river there's a river in my veins
Am7
Mary young as we may be you know, the blood in you and me
G                                     D             Am7
Is as old as blood can be, Is as old as blood can be  (eeeeee)

As old as blood can be  (eeeee)

And in the moment of blind madness when he's pushing her away
