Key: F

1  -3  -3   -3 1  -3  -3   -3
Ma-ri-anne, oh Ma-ri-anne, oh, 
 -3    3  -3* -3 3
Won’t you mar-ry me? 
1   3   3   3  1   3   3
We can have a bam-boo hut 
 3   3   -2 -3  3  -2
And bran-dy in the tea. 
  1    -3  -3  -3  1  -3  -3
Leave your fat old ma-ma home, 
-3   4 -3*  -5   4  -3*
She nev-er will say yes 
-5 -5 -6  -5    5    5  -3-3* 3  3-33-2
If ma-ma don’t know now, she can guess. 

-3   4   -2   -3    -3 3   -3*
All day, all night, Ma-ri-anne 
 3   -3*-3*  1   3     3   -2   -3
Down by the sea-side, sift-ing sand. 
-3 -3  4   4   -2   -3   -3  -3 3   -3*
Ev-en lit-tle child-ren love Ma-ri-anne 
 -3  3  -3*  1   3    3   -2   -2
Down by the sea-side sift-ing sand.
