Peter, Paul, and Mary - Polly Von

Capo on 6th fret

Intro: A minorAm D MajorD

A minorAm        C majorC      FF    DmDm
I shall tell of a hunter whose life was undone
A minorAm          C majorC      FF       E MajorE
By the cruel hand of evil at the setting of the sun
A minorAm        C majorC      FF       DmDm
His arrow was loosed and it flew through the dark,
A minorAm          C majorC      FF   E MajorE     A minorAm D MajorD A minorAm D MajorD Am...
And his true love was slain as the shaft found it's mark.

Chorus:
...Am   C majorC                       E MajorE
She'd her apron wrapped about her and he took her for a swan
A minorAm       C majorC      FF E MajorE    A minorAm D MajorD A minorAm D MajorD Am...
But it's oh and alas it was she, Polly Von

He ran up beside her and found it was she
He turned away his head for he could not bear to see
He lifted her up and found she was dead,
A augmentedA fountain of tears for his true love, he shed.

(Chorus)

He bore her away to his home by the sea
Cryin' "Father, oh father, I murdered poor Polly!
I've killed my fair love in the flower of her life!
I always intended that she be my wife."

"But she'd her apron wrapped about her
And I took her for a swan,
And it's oh and alas it was she, Polly Von."

He roamed near the place where his true love was slain
He wept bitter tears, but his cries were all in vain.
As he looked on the lake, a swan glided by
And the sun slowly sank in the grey of the sky.
