Mary
Noah and the Whale
Capo on the 5th Fret
Works really well with a tin whistle.  If you randomly have one around... 
First tab I've written so feel free to be brutally critical of anything wrong.

   G                      C
Oh the cold wet wind blew over the heather
G                     C
You wrote Charlie and Mary for forever
G                C
On the back of a rock
                G         C
That you picked up on the way
G                                C
And in that perfect moment I nearly ruined it
G                            C
By saying I love you and nearly meaning it
G                    C                 G      C
But you know I would never waste those words
D                           C                    G
Oh when I last saw Mary she lied and said it was her birthday
D                           C                    G
Oh when I last saw Mary she lied and said it was her birthday

G                                 C
But then she tried to kiss me and I said don't bother
G                        C
You know we don't really love one another
G              C
And there's no use
               G          C
In burning out this flame
   G                            C
Oh but then things changed in a way I couldn't predict
G                           C
She said I love you and it suddenly clicked
G                 C                      G          C
That she was only saying what she wanted me to hear
D                       C         G
And I said please don't lie to me Mary
D                       C         G
And I said please don't lie to me Mary


I said
D             
Please don't lie
      C               G
Oh it makes me cry in bed

I said
D             
Please don't lie
      C               G
Oh it makes me cry in bed

I said
D             
Please don't lie
      C               G
Oh it makes me cry in bed

And she said
D          
Shut your mouth
               C                    G
You don't know what you're talking about

Oh she said
D          
Shut your mouth
               C                    G
You don't know what you're talking about
