Chord/Tab song: Distant Drums

by Cindy Walker
Recorded by Jim Reeves

I hear the [A]sound of [D]distant [G]drums
Far [A]away, [D]far a[G]way
And if they [A]call for [D]me to [G]come
Then I must [D]go and you must s[G]tay

So Mary [D]marry me, let's not [G]wait
Let's share [A]all the time we [A7]can before it's too [D]late
L[-]ove me [(D)]now for now is all the time there may b[G]e
If you [A]love me Mary, [A7]Mary marry [D]me

I hear the sound of bugles blow
Far away, far away
And if they call, then I must go
Across the sea, so wild and grey.

So Mary marry me, let's not wait
For the distant drums might change our wedding date
And love me now, for now is all the time there may be
If you love me Mary, Mary marry me
