It was [G] in the merry month [C] of May When green [F] buds [C] all were swelling
on [C] his [Am] deathbed lay [C] For love [G] of
[C] Barbary Allen
He [G] sent his servant to [C] the town To the [F] place where she [C] was dwelling
Saying you [F] must come [C] to my [A] master dear [C] If your [G] name be [C] Barbary Allen
And slowly, [G] slowly she [C] got up And slowly [F] she [C] drew nigh him
words [C] to him [Am] did say [C] Young man [G] I think [C] you're dying
He turned [G] his face into [C] the wall And death [F] was [C] in him welling
