Barbara Allen

	  		
Intro:  D 

verse 1 

D               A             D 
In Scarlet town   where I was born 
            A         D 
There was a fair maid dwellin' 
   
And every youth   cry well away 
                 A    A7 D 
And her name was Barbara Allen 

verse 2 

Was in the merry   month of May 
A                    A7   D 
When green buds they were swelling 

Sir William on his deathbed lay 
                A   A7  D 
For the love of Barbara Allen 

verse 3 

He sent a servant to the town 
                   A        D 
To the place where she was dwellin' 

Cried master bids you to  his side 
                A    A7  D 
If your name be Barbara Allen 

verse 4 

Well Slowly slowly she got up 
    D7     A        D 
And slowly she went nigh him 

And when she pulled the curtain back 
               A        A7    D     B7 
Said Young man I think you're dying 

Verse 5 

           E          A    E 
Oh yes I'm sick   I'm very sick 
           B7        E 
And I will be     no better 

Until I've had    the love of one 
     E7     B7      E 
The love of Brarbra Allen 

Verse 6 

Now Father Father go dig my grave 
            B7       E 
And make it deep and narrow 

Sweet William died for me today 
             B7      E         C# 
I'll die for him     tomorrow 

Verse 7 

                 F#         C#       F# 
Well they buried her in the old courtyard 
              C#             F# 
Sir William's grave was nigh her 

And from his heart there grew a rose 
             C#                 F# 
And from her heart there grew a briar 

Verse 8 

                          C#         F# 
They grew and grew up the courtyard wall 
                C#   C#7 F# 
Till they could grow no  higher 

They grew as one no more two hearts 
        C#   C#7     F# 
Red red rose and the briar 
            C#       F#     D#m7  C#  F# 
The red red rose and Barbra Allen
