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

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
