Verse 1:
E B A E E
Flow gently sweet Afton among thy green braes
C#m B A E E
Flow gently I'll sing thee a song in thy praise
My Mary's asleep by thy murmuring stream
Flow gently sweet Afton disturb not her dream

Verse 2:
Thou stock dove whose echo resounds thro' the glen
Ye wild whistly blackbirds in yon thorny den
Thou green crested lapwing thy screaming forbear
I charge you disturb not my slumbering fair

Chorus:
C#m B A E E
How lofty sweet Afton thy neighboring hills
F#m F#m A B B
Far mark'd with the courses of clear winding rills
G#m A G# C#m B A E
There daily I wander as noon rises high oooh
F#m F#m A B B
My flocks and my Mary's sweet cot in my eye

Verse 3:
How pleasant thy banks and green valleys below
Where wild in the woodlands the primroses blow
There oft as mild evening sweeps over the lea
The sweet-scented birk shades my Mary and me

Chorus:
Thy crystal stream Afton how lovely it glides
And winds by the cot where my Mary resides
How wanton thy waters her snowy feet lave
As gathering sweet flowerets she stems thy clear wave

Verse 4:
Flow gently sweet Afton among thy green braes
Flow gently sweet river the theme of my lays
My Mary's asleep by thy murmuring stream
Flow gently sweet Afton disturb not her dreams
