Blackmore's Night – Barbara Allen (Ukulele)

             C
Twas in the merry month of May

              Am           G
When green buds all were swelling

       Dm                C
Sweet William on his death bed lay

              G       C
For love of Barbara Allen

             C     
He sent his servant to the town

              Am            G
To the place where she was dwelling

        Dm                 C
Saying you must come to my master dear

        G                 C
If your name be Barbara Allen

       C
So slowly slowly she got up

      Am               G
And slowly she drew nigh him

          Dm             C
And the only words to him did say

       G              C
Young man I think you're dying

         C
As she walked slowly o'er the field

              Am           G
She heard the death bells knelling

          Dm               C
And with every stroke it seemed to say

      G              C
Hard hearted Barbara Allen

               C
Oh mother, oh mother make by bed

          Am        G
Make it long and narrow

              Dm          C
Sweet William died for me today

           G               C
And I will die for him tomorrow

       D                       
They buried her in the old churchyard

            Bm     A
They buried him beside her

     Em                     D
And from his grave grew a red red rose

              A             D
And from her grave a green briar

              D
They grew and grew to the steeple top

                 Bm      A
Till they could grow no higher

      Em               D
And there they tied a true love's knot

      A              D
Red rose around green briar
