MARIANNE

3   5   5   5  3  5   5    5
Ma-ri-anne, oh Ma-ri-anne, oh,
5     -4  -5   5 -4
Won’t you mar-ry me?
3   -4  -4 -4  3  -4   -4
We can have a bam-boo hut
-4   -4   4  5  -4  4
And bran-dy in the tea.
3      5    5   5  3  5   5
Leave your fat old ma-ma home,
5    6  -5  -6   6   -5
She nev-er will say yes
-6 -6 7   -6     6   6   5-5  -4 -45-44
If ma-ma don’t know now, she can guess.

Chorus:

5    6    4    5    5  -4  -5
All day, all night, Ma-ri-anne
-4   -5  -5  -3  -4    -4   4   5
Down by the sea-side, sift-ing sand.
5  5   6   6    4    5   5   5  -4  -5
Ev-en lit-tle child-ren love Ma-ri-anne
5    -4 -5   -3  -4   -4   4    4
Down by the sea-side sift-ing sand.
