They have laid him in three furrows, deep lay [D] clods upon his head.
[G] Then these three men made [C] a solemn [G] vow, [C] John [G] Barleycorn [C] was dead, [D] John Barleycorn [G] was dead.
[D] [G]
And they have let him alive for a very long time, till [D] the rain from heaven did fall.
[G] Then little Sir John he sprang up his head, [C] and he did [G] amaze them [C] all, [D] he did amaze [G] them all.

And [G] they have rolled and they've tied him around the waist, [C] they've served [G] him [C] barbarously, [D] they have served him [G] barbarously.
Fa la la [D] la it's a lovely day, sing fa la [G] la lay doh, fa la la la it's a lovely day, [D] sing him fa la la [G] lay [D] doh.
[G]
And they have hired a man with a crab tree sticks [D] to cut him skin from bone.
[G] And the miller has served him worse than that, [C] he's ground [G] him between [D] two [C] stones, [D] he's ground him between [G] two stones.
Fa la la la [D] it's a lovely day, sing fa la la [G] lay doh, fa la la la it's a [D] lovely day, sing him fa la la [G] lay [D] doh.
[G]
And they have wheeled him here and they've wheeled him [D] there, they've wheeled him to a barn.
[G] And they have served him worse than [C] that, they've [G] bummed him [C] in a vat, [D] they've bummed him in a [G] vat.
Fa la [D] la la it's a lovely day, sing fa [G] la la lay doh, fa la la la it's a lovely [D] day, sing him fa la la lay doh.
