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.

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

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