[Verse 1]
There [A]were three [Em]men came out [D]of the w[Em]est,
their for[A]tunes [G]for to [D]try[Em]
And [A]these [Em]three men made
a [G]solem[D]n v[Em]ow
John [A]Barley[G]corn [D]must [Em]die
They've [G]plowed, they've sown,
[D]they've [Em]harrowed him in
Threw [G]clods [A]upon his [Bsus4]head[B]
And [A]these [Am]three men [Em]made
a [G]solem[D]n v[Em]ow
John [A]Barleycorn [Em]was [G]dead[D]

[Verse 2]
They've [A]let him [Em]lie for a very l[G]ong [D]time,
[Em]'til the rains from [A]heav[Em]en did f[D]all[Em]
And [A]little Sir [Em]John sprung up [D]his [Em]head and
[A]so [Em]amazed [G]the[D]m all[Em]
They've [G]let him stand 'til [Em]midsummer's day
'til he [G]looked both [A]pale and [Bsus4]wan[B]
And [Am]little Sir [Em]John's grown a [G]long [D]long [Em]beard and [A]so be[G]come
[D]a man[Em][A][G][D][Em][A][G][D][Em][A][G][D][Em][A][G][D][Em]
They've [A]hired [Em]men with t[G]heir scythes so [D]sharp
[Em]to cut h[A]im off at th[G]e [D]knee[Em]
They've [A]rolled him and [Em]tied him [G]by [D]the [Em]way,
serving [A]him most [G]barbar[D]ously
[Em]They've hire[G]d men with their[Em] sharp pitchforks
who've [G]pricked him [A]to the [Bsus4]heart[B]
And the [A]loader [Am]he has se[Em]rved
him worse [D]than [Em]that
For he's [A]bound him [G]to [D]the cart

[Verse 3]
They've [A]wheeled him [Em]around and [G]around a
[Em]field 'til they [A]came on[G]to [D]a p[Em]ond
And [A]there they [Em]made a [G]solem[D]n
[Em]oath on [A]poor John [G]Barley[D]corn
[Em]They've hire[G]d men with their[Em] crabtree
sticks to [G]cut him [A]skin from [Bsus4]bone[B]
And the [A]miller he has [Em]served him
[G]worse [D]than [Em]that
For he's [A]ground him
[G]between [D]two stones
[Em]

[Verse 4]
And [A]little Sir [Em]John
and the nut [G]brown [Em]bowl and his [A]brandy [G]in [D]the [Em]glass
And [A]little Sir [Em]John and the [G]nut [D]brown bowl
[Em]proved the stron[A]gest man a[G]t la[D]st[Em]
The [G]huntsman he can't [Em]hunt the fox
nor so [G]loudly to [A]blow his [Bsus4]horn[B]
And [A]the tinker [Am]he ca[Em]n't mend k[G]ettle or[D]
[Em]pot s [A]without [G]a little barleyc[D]orn
