Original in A, so when played in G: Capo 2
Intro:                         G  
It was Gon one Dcold winter Gnight
When the Gwind blew aA7cross the wild D7moor
When GMary came Dwandering Ghome with her Cchild 
Till she Gcame to her D7own father's Gdoor
"GFather, dear Dfather," she Gcried
"Come Gdown and A7open the D7door
Or the Gchild in my Darms will Gperish and Cdie
From the Gwinds that blow aD7cross the wild Gmoor"
But her Gfather was Ddeaf to her Gcry
Not a Gsound of a A7voice did he D7hear
So the Gwatchdog did Dhowl and the Gvillage bells Ctolled
And the Gwind blew aD7cross the wild Gmoor
G D G C   G D7 G
Oh, Ghow the old Dman must have Gfelt
When he Gcame to the A7door the next D7morn'
And he Gfound Mary Ddead but the Gchild still aClive
Closely Ggrasping its D7dead mother's Garms
In Ggrief the old Dman passed aGway
And the Gchild to its A7mother went D7soon
And Gno one, they Dsay, lives Gthere to this Cday
And the Gcottage to D7ruin has Ggone
G D G C   G D7 G
But the Gvillagers Dpoint out the Gspot
Where the Gwillows grew A7over the D7door
Saying, "GThere Mary Ddied, once the Ggay village Cbride
From the Gwind that blew aD7cross the wild Gmoor"
G D G C   G D7 G

Original in A, so when played in G: Capo 2

Intro:

G D G

It was on one cold winter night

G A7 D7

When the wind blew across the wild moor

G D G C

When Mary came wandering home with her child

G D7 G

Till she came to her own father's door

G D G

"Father, dear father," she cried

G A7 D7

"Come down and open the door

G D G C

Or the child in my arms will perish and die

G D7 G

From the winds that blow across the wild moor"

G D G

But her father was deaf to her cry

G A7 D7

Not a sound of a voice did he hear

G D G C

So the watchdog did howl and the village bells tolled

G D7 G

And the wind blew across the wild moor

G D G C G D7 G

G D G

Oh, how the old man must have felt

G A7 D7

When he came to the door the next morn'

G D G C

And he found Mary dead but the child still alive

G D7 G

Closely grasping its dead mother's arms

G D G

In grief the old man passed away

G A7 D7

And the child to its mother went soon

G D G C

And no one, they say, lives there to this day

G D7 G

And the cottage to ruin has gone

G D G C G D7 G

G D G

But the villagers point out the spot

G A7 D7

Where the willows grew over the door

G D G C

Saying, "There Mary died, once the gay village bride

G D7 G

From the wind that blew across the wild moor"

G D G C G D7 G
