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
