Chords for The Ballad of Barbara Allen (cover)

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Was in the merry month of May
_ [Am] When flowers were [G] _ blooming
_ _ [F] Sweet William [C] on his deathbed lay
[F] For the [G] love of [C] Barbara Allen
_ _ _ _ Slowly, slowly she got out
_ [Am] _ And slowly she [G] went nigh him _ _
[F] And all she [C] said when she got there
_ [F] Young [G] man, I think [C] you're dying
_ _ _ _ Yes, I'm sick and [A] very low _
[Am] _ _ And death [G] is on me dwelling
_ _ _ _ [F] No better shall [C] I ever be
[F] If I don't [G] get [C] Barbara Allen _ _
_ _ _ He turned his pale face to the wall
[Am] _ And death was [G] on him dwelling
_ _ [F] _ Adieu, adieu, [C] my kind friends, oh
[A] [F] Be [G] kind to [C] Barbara Allen
_ _ _ _ _ As she was walking through the fields
[Am] _ _
She heard the death [G] bells kneeling _
_ _ [F] And every toe [C] they seemed to say
_ _ [F] _ Heart [G]-hearted [C] Barbara _ Allen _ _
_ She looked east and she looked west
_ [Am] She saw his [G] corpse a-coming
_ _ [F] Lay down, lay down [Am] the corpse, she said
_ [F] And [G] let me [C] gaze upon him _ _
_ Oh, mother, come make my bed
[Am] _ _ Make it long [G] and narrow _ _ _
[F] My true love died [C] _ _ yesterday
_ _ [F] And I will [G] die for him [C] tomorrow _ _ _ _ _ _
Sweet William died on a Saturday night
_ [Am] And Barbara died [G] on a Sunday
_ _ [F] Her mother died [C] for the love of both
[F] And was [G] buried _ [C] Easter Monday
_ _ _ _ They buried Willie in the [D] old churchyard
_ [Am] And Barbara then _ [G] I him _ _
[F] And out of his grave [Am] grew a red, [G] red rose _ _
[F] And out [Bm] of [C] hers a briar
_ _ _ _ They grew and they grew in the old churchyard
[Am] _ Till they could grow _
[G] no higher
And _ _
[F] _ _ [C] they tied in a true love's knot
_ [F] The _ [G] rose ran round [C] the briar _ _
