[Bb] [Dm]
There [G] were three [F] men came out of the [Dm] west, [G] their [C] fortunes full [Dm] of life
[G] And these three [Dm] men [D] made a solemn [Dm] vow, [G] John [C] Michael [Dm] must die
[F] They ploughed, they sowed, [Dm] they harrowed him in, [F] threw [G] clothes upon [A] his head
Till [Dm] these three men were [C]
[D] satisfied, John [G] Michael [C]
[D] must die
[G] [C]
[Dm] [G] [C]
[Dm] [G] They let him [C] lie for a long, long [Dm] time, till the [C] rains from heaven [Dm] did fall
Then little [Dm] Sir John sprang [C] up his head, [G] and so [Dm] amazed them all
They [F]
let him stand [Dm] in midsummer's day, [F] till he [G] looked both [A] pale and white
[B]
[G] Then little [Dm] Sir John's grown [C] an [Dm] ugly beard, and so he [C] became [D] a man
[Dm] [G] They've hired [Dm] men with a size [Dm] so sharp, [G] to cut him off [D] at the knee
They've rolled [Dm] him and tied him around the waist, [G]
stabbing him most [C] barbarously
[F] They've hired men [Dm] with a sharp-edged force, [F] to prick him [G] to [A] the heart
And [G] a loader he has served him worse than [Dm] that, for [G] it's bound him to the cart
[C]
[Dm] [G] [C]
[Dm] [G] [C] They [Dm] [G] [C]
[Dm] wheeled him [F] round and around [D] the field, [G] till they came [F]
[D] unto a [Dm] barn
And there they made a solemn [D] oath [G]
concerning [D] barley corn
[F]
They've hired men [D] with a crafty [F] headstakes, to split [G] him [A] skin from bone
And
[G] a miller [Dm] has served him [C] worse [D] than that, [G] for he's drowned him [D] between two stones
[F] They've wheeled his beard all in [C] the barrel, [F] and branded [Bb] him in [C] the glass
But little Sir John, [D] when his head crumbled, [Bb] the strongest man [Bm]
[G] has [C] come
[Dm] [G] John Barclay
[Dm] [G] Now the huntsman, [Bb] he can't [C] hunt the fox, [F] nor loudly blow [C] his horn
And the tinkerer, he can't [A] mend his [D] pots, [Bb] without John [C]
Barley [Dm] Corn
[G]
[Dm] Yeah, John [G] Barley [F] Corn
[Dm] Yeah, John [G] Barley Corn
[D] Barley Corn
[G]

Let's start jamming Jethro Tull - (Live; 2006 Remastered Version) John Barleycorn chords, practice the chord sequence Dm, F, C, Dm, G and C. A strategic approach would be to train at 44 BPM initially, and then accelerate to the song's tempo of 88. For a balanced pitch, adjust the capo with respect to your voice and the song's key: D Minor.
