Verse 1
D 
Em 
In Yar mouth town there lived a man
D 
Em 
Who kept a tavern by the sand
D 
Em 
D 
This landlord had a daughter fair
E 
D 
A plump little thing with a golden hair
E 
Oh, won't you come down,
D 
won't you come down
Won't you come down
Bm 
to Yarmouth town?
D 
Em 
D 
E 
Well, to this tavern came a sailor man
D 
He asked the daughter for her hand
E 
Why should I marry you, she says,
F#m 
Em 
D 
I get all I want without being wed
And won't you come down,
won't you come down
Won't you come down
F#m 
to Yarmouth town
D 
But, she says,
E 
D 
if you want with me to linger
F#m 
E 
I'll  tie a bit of string all around my finger
You come by and you pull on the string
I'll come down and I'll let you in
D 
Oh, won't you come down,
won't you come down,
Won't you come down
to Yarmouth town?
A 
E 
So the very next night that Salem man
A 
E 
He went to the tavern by the sand
D 
E 
D 
And he went by and he pulled on the string
E 
She came down and she let him in
Oh, won't you come down,
won't you come down,
D 
Won't you come down
to Yarmouth town?
Well, he'd never seen such a sight before
F#m 
D 
For the string around her finger was all she
E 
D 
E 
And when he went and he pulled on the string,
She pulled by the blankets
and let Jack in.
D 
Oh, won't you come down,
won't you come down,
Won't you come down
F#m 
to Yarmouth Town?
D 
And they spent the
F#m 
whole night through.
Early in the morning went
D 
back to his crew,
E 
D 
Where he told them all about that maiden fair,
E 
The plump little thing with the golden hair.
D 
Oh, won't you come down,
won't you come down,
Won't you come down
to Yarmouth Town?
E 
And the word, it soon got around
D 
F#m 
And the very next night in Yar
A 
mouth town
E 
D 
There were fifteen sailors
pulling on the string
F#m 
E 
D 
She came  down and she let them in
Oh, won't you come down,
won't you come down
F#m 
Won't you come down to Yarmouth town
D 
So come on, young sailors,
E 
D 
we're down to Yarmouth to go
E 
Do you see a plump little thing
D 
with her hair hanging low
A 
Well, all you've got to do is
D 
pull on the string
E 
She'll come down and let you in,
won't you come down
D 
F#m 
Won't you come down,
D 
won't you come down
F#m 
D 
to Yarmouth town
D 
F#m
