Lyrics and Chords


[Capo 7]

Am riff: / Am-Amsus4 Am-Amsus2 /

Are you going to Scarborough Fair
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine

/ Am riff G Am riff / C Am D Am riff Am riff / 
   / Am C CAm G Gsus4-G / Am G - Am riff Am riff / 

Tell her to make me a cambric shirt
     On the side of a hill in the deep forest green
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
     Tracing a sparrow on snow-crested ground
Without no seam nor needlework
     Blankets and bedclothes a child of the mountain
Then she'll be a true love of mine
     Sleeps unaware of the clarion call

Tell her to find me an acre of land
     On the side of a hill, a sprinkling of leaves
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
     Washes the ground with silvery tears
Between the salt water and the sea strand
     A soldier cleans and polishes a gun
Then she'll be a true love of mine

Tell her to reap it in a sickle of leather
     War bellows, blazing in scarlet battalions
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
     Generals order their soldiers to kill
And to gather it all in a bunch of heather
     And to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten
Then she'll be a true love of mine

Are you going to Scarborough Fair
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine
