[G] [D] [C]
[G]
[F] [C]
[D] [E] [C]
In [D] Scarlet [Em] Town where I [C] was born
[G] Swelling made [F] every youth [C] cry well a day
[Em] Her name was [C] Barley
In the [G] springtime [C] of the year
When all the [G] flowers were blooming
[F] Sweet William [C] on his [Am] deathbed lay
[Em] For love [F] of [G] [C] Barley
He sent his servant [G] to the farm
The [Am] place where she
[G]
[F] Sweet Master dear [G] has [Am] sent me here
With her [F] name be Barley
[C]
[D] So [C] slowly, slowly she got up
To see [Am] [G] him
[F] And all she [A] said when [Am] there she came
Oh [F] young man I [G] think you're [C] dying
Oh I am sick, so very sick
With [A] love my [D] head [G] is aching
[F] One kiss from you [C] will cure me [Am] well
You'll keep [F] my [G] heart [C] from breaking
Do you remember [G] that [C] night she said
When [Am] we [D] used to go [G] to the tavern
You [A] drank the toast to [Am] the ladies there
And [F] slighted [C] Barbara Allen
He turned his [G] face into [C] the wall
He [Am] turned his back [G] upon her
[F] Adieu, adieu [G] to [Am] my friend doll
Be kind to [G] [C] Barbara
[Am] [G]
[F] [Am]
[C] [F] [C]
As she was wandering o'er the field
She heard the death [G] bell ringing
[F] And what [C] it seemed to [Am] say
[Em]
Heart hearted [G] [C] Barbara Allen
Father oh father go dig my [D] grave
[C] [Am] Make it both long [G] and sweet
[F] Sweet William died [C] of love
[Am] And I shall [G] die a poor man
He buried his wife [C] in the old church
And Barbara [Am] in the [G] new one
[F] And from William's heart [Am] grew a love well bound
From Barbara's heart [C] grew a new one
[G] They grew [C] and grew in the old churchyard
Till they [Am] cried, [D] one [G] [C] night died in a true lover's [Am] mouth
[F#m]
