[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ Flow gently, sweet [B] _ afton, [B] among [E] my green _ _ braids. _
Flow [C#m] gently, all singing, [E]
a song in night. _ _ _ _
_ My _ [B] Mary's asleep by thy murmuring stream. _
_ _ _ [C#m] Flow gently, _ [B]
sweet [B] afton, disturb [E] not her _ dream. _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
Thou stocked of [B] whose echo _
[A] resounds through [E] the glen. _ _
Holy [C#m] wild whistling [B] _
blackbirds, _ [A] young [E] thorny den. _
_ _ _ Thou green crest and [B] lampwing light, [A] screaming [E] for _ _ birth.
O, [C#m] what charge you [B] disturb not my _
[E] slumbering fit.
_ _ _ O, how [C#m] _ lofty, [B] sweet afton, [A] thy neighboring _ hills. _ _
_ Far [F#m] marked with the courses _ of clear winding _ will.
_ _ _ [E] Then daily [A] I wander [E] as [G#] noon rises [C#] _ _ _ [B] high.
_ _ [F#] _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ [F#m] My flocks and my Marys, sweet God in [B] my _ _ eye. _ _

_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
How pleasant thy banks and [A] valleys _ [E] _ below. _ _
_ Where [C#m] wild in [B] the world the _ _ [A] _ _ [E] primrose is blown. _
_ _ _ _ There oft the smiling [B] eve, [E] sweeps over the lea.
_ _ _ The [C#m] sweet _ scented [B] bird shakes [A] my Mary [E] in need.
_ _ _ Though thy [C#m] crystal _ [B] stream afton, [A] her lovely _ [E] glides. _ _ _
_ And [F#m] winds by a cat where [A] my Mary [B] resides. _ _
_ _ _ [G#m] How wanton thy [A] _ waters, her [G#] snowy [C#m] _ _
_ _ [E] vales.
_ [F#m] As gathering sweet flowers, [A] she [A] stems I clear _ [B] _ _ away. _ _ _

_ Flow gently, sweet [B] _ _
afton, [B] among [E] thy green _ _ braes.
_ Flow gently, sweet river, _ the theme of my lay.
_ _ _ _ My _ Mary's [B] asleep by thy [E] murmuring _ _ stream.
_ So flow [C#m] gently, [B] sweet afton, _
[A] disturb [B] not _ her [E] dream.
