[Ebm] In Scarlet Town, where I was [E] born,
There was a [B] fair maid [Gb] dwellin',
[B] She was the [E] fairest of them all,
[Eb] And her name [Gb] [E] was [B] Barbara Allen.
[E] [B]
All [E] in the
[Ebm] merry month [E] of May,
When sweet buds were a -swellin',
[B] Young William [E] on his [Ebm] deathbed [E] lay,
[B] For the love of Barbara Allen.

He sent his men [B] into the town,
[E] To the house where [Ebm] she was dwellin',
[B] My master's sick, and he sends [E] me here,
If [Db] your name be [Gb] Barbara Allen.
[E]
So [Abm] slowly she went to his [E] home,
[B] So slowly she drew [E] nigh him,
[B] And all she said [E] when she got there,
[Gb] Young man, [B] I fear [Gb] you're dyin'.

[B] [E]
Do you remember in Scarlet Town,
In yonder tavern drinkin',
You [Db] gave a [E] half to the ladies all,
[B] But you slighted Barbara [E] Allen.
Yes, I remember, and remember it well,
[B] In [Eb] Scarlet's [Abm]
tavern [E] drinkin',
[B] I gave a half [Ebm] to the ladies all,
[E] [Ebm] But my heart [E] to
[B] Barbara [Ab] [E] Allen.
[B]
[E]
She [Ebm] turned her [E] face [Abm] unto the [E] wall,
[Ebm] She turned [Dbm] her back [E] upon him,
[B] Adieu, [E] adieu, to all my friends,
[B] Be kind to Barbara [E]
Allen.
As she was [Db] on the [E] high road home,
Those death bells were a-nellin',
[B] And every [E] note did seem to cry,
[B] Hard-hearted Barbara [E] Allen.
