There (C major) were three men came
Verse 1
out of the west
Their fortune (G major) for to (D major) try
And (C major) these three men made a solemn vow
John (B flat major) Barleycorn (C major) should (D major) die
They ploughed, they (C major) sowed,
they (G major) harrowed
And in two clods (C major) upon his (D major) head
And these three (C major) men made a solemn vow
(D major) John (B flat major) Barleycorn (C major) was (G major) dead
(Dsus4) And (D major) these three men made
a (C major) solemn vow
John (B flat major) Barleycorn (C major) was (D major) dead (Dsus4)
(Csus2) (D major) (Dsus4) (B flat major) (C major)
(Csus2) They (C major) let him lie for a very long time,
till (B flat major) rain from (C major) heaven did (D major) fall
And little Sir (C major) John raised up his (B flat major) head,
and he soon amazed (C major) them (D major) all
They let him lie until the
(G major) long midsummer,
when he (C major) looked both pale and (D major) worn
Then (C major) little Sir John grew a long, beard
and (B flat major) so be (C major) came a (G major) man
Then (C major) little Sir John grew a long, long beard
and (B flat major) so be (C major) came a (D major) man
(Dsus4) (C major) (D major) (Dsus4) (B flat major)
(C major) They (D major) hired men with scythes so (B flat major) sharp
to cut him off (C major) down by the knee
They (D major) rolled him and tied him
around the (G major) waist,
(B flat major) him most (C major) fervently
(D major) They hired (F major) men with (G major) sharp -edged forks
to pierce him (C major) to the (D major) heart
And (C major) the loader,
served him (F major) worse than (D minor) that,
for he (C major) bound him to the (G major) cart (C major) (D major) (C major) (D major)
(C major) (G major) (D major) (G major) (D major) (C major) (D major) (G major)
(D major) (G major)
(D major) (G major) (D major) (Dsus4) (C major) (D major) (G major) (D major)
(C major) (D major) (G major) (D major) (Dsus4) (C major) (D major) (G major) (D major)
(C major) (D major) (G major)
(C major) Back (G major) ground (D major) (G major) (D major) (C major) (D major) (G major)
(C major)
(G major) They rolled him around and
around the field
till they (B flat major) came into a barn
And (C major) there they made a solomo
of (D major) poor John Barleycorn
They hired (F major) men with (G major) crabtree sticks
to cut him skin from (D major) bone
But the (C major) miller, served him worse than (D major) that
For a (C major) ground in (G major) between two stones
The (C major) miller, he served him worse than (D major) that
For a (B flat major) ground in (G major) between two (D major) stones
(Dsus4) (C major) (D major) (Dsus4) (D major) (B flat major) (C major)
Here's (D major) little Sir John
in the nut -brown bow
and brandy in her gloves
And little Sir John in the nut -brown bow
with the stronger man at last
For the hunter he can't hand the fox
Nor loudly (Dsus4) blow his horn
(D major) And the tinkerer he can't mend
his kettles or pots
Without a little bit of John Bollycorn
John Barleycorn
