[Intro 1]
[G][Am][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]It [Am]was i[G]n the [D]merry
[G]month of [Am]May
[Em]When [G]green buds [C]all were [Bm]swelling
Sweet [C]William on his [Am]deathbed [G]lay[D][Em]
Full [Am]of lo[G]ve of Ba[C]rbara Alle[Em]n
So [G]slowly, slowly [D]she [G]got up[Em]
And [G]slowly [C]she drew [Bm]nigh him
The [C]only words to [G]him did [Em]say
[C]Young [G]man, I [C]think you're dy[Em]ing
[C]He [G]turned his face unto the [Em]wall
[G]Death was [C]in him [Bm]willing
[C]Goodbye, goodbye to [G]my friends [Em]all
Be [C]good [G]to Bar[C]bara Allen[Em]
When [G]he was dead and laid in [Em]grave
She [G]heard the [C]death bells [Bm]knelling
And [C]every stroke to [G]her [D]did [Em]seem
Hard [G]-hearted [C]Barbara Al[Em]len
[Bm]Oh, [G]Mother, Mother, dig my grave
Make it [C]long and [Bm]narrow
[G]Sweet [Bm]Will[C]iam died[D] of love[G] for m[Bm]e[Em]
And [G]I will d[C]ie of s[Em]orrow
She was [G]buried in the old church[Em]yard
Sweet [G]William [C]was be[G]side her
[Bm]Of W[C]illiam's h[D]eart that gr[Em]ew a r[Am]ose
Out of [D]Barbara Allen's a [G]briar
They grew and grew in the old churchyard
[Em]Till they [G]could grow[C] no high[Bm]er
[G]At [Bm]the end t[C]hey form[D]ed
a [Em]true [Am]lover's knot
And the [G]rose grew [D]round [G]the briar
Twas in the [D]merry [G]month of May[Em]
When [G]green buds [C]all were [Bm]swelling
Sweet [C]William on his [G]deathbed [Em]laid
For [G]love of [C]Barbara Allen
[Em]For love[D] of Ba[Bm]rbara A[D]llen[G]
