Distant Drums Chords by Jim Reeves

[Intro]

[Verse]
           A                D    
I hear the sound of distant drums
A            D   
Far away far away
            A7             D   
And if they call for me to come


[Chorus]
G           D      A        D   
Then I must go and you must stay
   D                       G   
So Mary marry me let's not wait


[Verse]
            A                               D       
Let's share all the time we can before it's too late
                                              G 
Love me now for now is all the time there may be
       A                       D 
If you love me Mary Mary marry me
           A        D          
I hear the sound of bugles blow


[Chorus]
A7  A        D   
Far away far away
            A7   A             D 
And if they call ■ then I must go
G          D   A           D   
Across the sea so wild and grey


[Verse]
   D                   G       
So Mary marry me let's not wait
        A                                      D   
For the distant drums might change our wedding date


[Chorus]
         D                                        G 
And love me now for now is all the time there may be
       A7                D       
If you love me Mary Mary marry me


[End]
