Art Garfunkel - Barbara Allen


CAPO: 4th Fret



INTRO: C G F G F C G

C G C
All in the merry month of May,
G
When green buds all were swelling
F C
Sweet William on his deathbed lay
F C G
For love of Barbara Allen


C G C
He sent his servant to the town,
G
The place where she did dwell in
F C
Saying, "Master dear, has sent me here
G
If your name be Barbara Allen."


C G Am7
Then slowly, slowly she got up
C G
And slowly she went to him
F C
And all she said when there she came
F G
Was, "Young man, I think you're dying."


C G C
"Don't you remember the other night
G
When we were in the tavern?
F C
You drank a toast to the ladies there,
F C F G
And slighted Barbara Allen."


C G C
He turned his face unto the wall,
Am7 F G
He turned his back upon her
F C
"Adieu, adieu, to all my friends,
F G C
And be kind, be kind to Barbara Allen."


INSTRUMENTAL:



G C G Am7
As she was wandering o'er the fields,
C F G
She heard the death bell knelling
F C
And every note, it seemed to say,
G
"Hard-hearted Barbara Allen!"


C G Am7
The more it tolled the more she grieved,
C G
She bursted out a-crying
F C
"Oh, pick me up and carry me home,
G
I fear that I am dying."


INSTRUMENTAL: C Am7 F G C Am7 F G

Eb Bb Eb
They buried Willy in the old church yard
Bb
And Barbara in the new one,
Ab Eb
And from William's grave, there grew a rose,
Bb
From Barbara's, a green briar


Eb Bb Eb
They grew and grew in the old church yard,
Ab Bb
'Til they could grow no higher,
Ab Eb
And there they tied in a true lover's knot,
Bb Eb
The red rose and the briar
