Blackmores Night – Barbara Allen chords

             CTwas in the merry month of May
              Am           GWhen green buds all were swelling
       Dm                CSweet William on his death bed lay
              G       CFor love of Barbara Allen
             
             C     He sent his servant to the town
              Am            GTo the place where she was dwelling
        Dm                 CSaying you must come to my master dear
        G                 CIf your name be Barbara Allen

       CSo slowly slowly she got up
      Am               GAnd slowly she drew nigh him
          Dm             CAnd the only words to him did say
       G              CYoung man I think you're dying

         CAs she walked slowly o'er the field
              Am           GShe heard the death bells knelling
          Dm               CAnd with every stroke it seemed to say
      G              CHard hearted Barbara Allen

               COh mother, oh mother make by bed
          Am        GMake it long and narrow
              Dm          CSweet William died for me today
           G               CAnd I will die for him tomorrow

       D                       They buried her in the old churchyard
            Bm     AThey buried him beside her
     Em                     DAnd from his grave grew a red red rose
              A             DAnd from her grave a green briar
          
              DThey grew and grew to the steeple top
                 Bm      ATill they could grow no higher
      Em               DAnd there they tied a true love's knot
      A              DRed rose around green briar
