The Ballad of Barbara Allen Chords

[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ It _ was [F#] in the _ _ _ _ merry [B] month of May, _ _ when green [E] buds _ all [B] were swelling, _
_ _ Sweet William [E] _
on _ [B] his [G#m] deathbed lay, _ _ [B] for love [F#] of _ _ [B] Bobbery I, _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ He sent [F#] his _ _ _ servant [B] to the town, _ _ to the place [E] where she _ [B] was _ dwelling,
Saying, You [E] must _ come [B] to my [G#m] master, _ _ dear, [B] if your name [F#] be _ _ [B] Bobbery Allen. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ So slowly, [F#] _ slowly _ _ _ [B] she got up, _ and slowly _ she drew nigh, _
_ And the [E] only _ _ words [B] to him [G#m] did say, _ _ [B] Young man, [F#] I think [B] you're dying. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ He turned [F#] his _ _ face _ unto [B] the wall, _ _ and death [E] was _ in him [B] welling, _
_ _ Goodbye [E] to _ _
_ _ [B] my [G#m] friends _ all, _ [B] be good [F#] to _ _ [B] Bobbery Allen. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ When he [F#] was dead _ and [B] laid in grave, _ _ she heard the [E] death,
_ [B] _ _ _ _
_ And [E] every _ _ stroke [B] to her [G#m] did say, _ _ [B] Hard [F#]-hearted Bob,
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Come mother, oh [F#] mother, _ _ go dig [B] my grave, _ _ Make it both _ [E] long _ [B] _ _ _
and narrow,
Sweet _ [E] William, _ _
_ _ [B] of love [G#m] for me, _ _ [B] and I will die of sorrow,
_ _ And father, [F#] oh father, _ _ go [B] dig my grave, _ _ Make it both [E] long _ [B] and narrow,
_ Sweet [E] William died _ _ [B] on _ [G#m] _ _ _
yesterday, _ [B] and [F#] I will die [B] tomorrow. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Bobbery Allen [F#] was buried _ in the old [B] _ _ churchyard, _ Sweet William [E] was buried _ [B] beside _ her,
Out of sweet [E] William's _ heart _ [B] there grew [G#m] a rose, _ _ _ [B] Out of [F#] Bobbery _ Allen's [B] a _ briar. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ They grew [F#] and grew _ _ _ in [B] the old _ churchyard, _ Till they could [E] _ _ groan [B] _ _ _
_ at the [E] end they _ formed,
[B] A true [G#m] lover's lot, _ _ and [B] the rose grew _ out the _ briar.
