In (C major) London
Verse 1
City,
(G major) where I (F major) once did dwell,
It's (C major) where I got (G major) my learnin'.
I fell (C major) in love with a (F major) pretty young girl,
and her (C major) name (G major) was Barbara Al (C major) len
I courted her for sev (F major) en long years,
she said (C major) she would not (G major) have me
Straight (C major) away home as (F major) I could go,
and a (C major) liking done to a dime
I sent my servant to (F major) the town
where (C major) Barbara was (G major) a -dwellin'
My (C major) master's sick, he sent (F major) for you,
if your (C major) name be Barbara Allen
As she walked by his (F major) dine bed,
she (C major) saw his pale (G major) lips quiverin'
No better, (C major) no better I'll (F major) ever be
If I (C major) can't get Bar (G major) bara Al (C major) len
Oh, don't you remember (F major) a long time ago
Way (C major) down in Yon (G major) der Tavern
You drank (C major) a toast to the (F major) ladies all
But you (C major) slide (G major) at Barbara Al (C major) len
Oh, yes, I remember (G major) a (F major) long time ago
Way (C major) down in yonder tav (G major) ern
I drank (C major) a toast to the (F major) ladies all
But my (C major) love (G major) was for Barbara
Al (C major) ley (F major) (C major) (G major) (C major) (F major) (C major) (G major)
(C major) Now as she went down the (F major) winding road,
she (C major) heard the wee birds (G major) singing.
Every (C major) bird (G major) it (F major) seemed to say hard, (C major) hard,
(G major) it's Barbara Al (C major) len.
Oh, Papa, oh, Papa, go (F major) dig my grave,
(C major) Dig it deep (G major) and narrow.
Little (C major) Jimmy Cruz has (F major) died for love,
And (C major) I (G major) must die for sor (C major) row.
They buried Jim in (F major) the old churchyard,
They (C major) buried Miss Barbara beside (G major) him.
From (C major) his grave there (F major) grew a red rose,
From (C major) her grave grew (G major) a briar.
(C major) They grew to the top (G major) of the
(F major) old church tower,
They (C major) could not grow any (G major) higher.
They (C major) took, they tied,
in a (F major) true love's knot,
Red rose (C major) around (G major) the briar.
(C major)
