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.

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

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