A|-----5-5-5h7-53-0-2-2h3-3h5-3-2-0---------------| E|-3-5------------------------------3-------------| C|------------------------------------------------| G|------------------------------------------------|

A|-0-0--------------------------------------------| E|-------3h5-5-3-0---------0h3-0------------------| C|-----2-----------2-0---2-------2-0h2------------| G|------------------------------------------------|
The old ones were all dead and gone, the young ones turning grey

[Verse 4]
I paid a flying visit to my first and only love
A|-0-0--------------------------------------------| E|-------3h5-5-3-0---------0h3-0------------------| C|-----2-----------2-0---2-------2-0h2------------| G|------------------------------------------------|

A|-------5-5-7-5-3-0-2-2h3-3h5-3-2-0--------------| E|-3-3-5-----------------------------3------------| C|------------------------------------------------| G|------------------------------------------------|

A|-------5-5-7-53-0-2-2h3-3-3h5-3-2-0-------------| E|-3-3-5------------------------------3-----------| C|------------------------------------------------| G|------------------------------------------------|
As she's Nell, the farmer's daughter and the pride of Spancil Hill

A|-------5-5-5h7-5-3-0-2-2h3-3h5-3-2-0------------| E|-3-5-5-------------------------------3----------| C|------------------------------------------------| G|------------------------------------------------|
Then the cock he crew in the morning, he crew both loud and shrill
A|-------5-5-5-7-5-3-0-2-2h3-3h5-3-2-0------------| E|-5-3-5-------------------------------3----------| C|------------------------------------------------| G|------------------------------------------------|
I awoke in California, many miles from Spancil Hill
