   [Intro]
   Am
   [Verse 1]
Am      C        G           Am
Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
C        Am    C   D      Am
Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme
         C                   G
Remember me to one who lives there
Am       G   C G/B  Am   G  Am
She once was a true love of mine
    [Verse 2]
Am       C            G       Am
Tell her to make me a cambric shirt
                             (On the side of a hill in the deep forest green)
C        Am    C   D      Am
Parsely, sage, rosemary & thyme
                         (Tracing a sparrow on snow-crested ground)
           C               G
Without no seams nor needlework
                    (Blankets and bedclothes a child of the mountains)
Am         G   C G/B  Am   G  Am
Then she'll be a true love of mine
                           (Sleeps unaware of the clarion call)
   [Verse 3]
Am       C             G       Am
Tell her to find me an acre of land
                      (On the side of a hill, a sprinkling of leaves)
C        Am    C   D       Am
Parsely, sage, rosemary, & thyme
                          (Washed is the ground with so many tears)
            C                      G
Between the salt water and the sea strand
                                  (A soldier cleans and polishes a gun)
Am         G   C G/B  Am   G  Am
Then she'll be a true love of mine
   [Verse 4]
Am       C                G        Am
Tell her to reap it in a sickle of leather
                               (War bellows, blazing in scarlet battalions)
C        Am    C   D      Am
Parsely, sage, rosemary & thyme
                         (Generals order their soldiers to kill)
          C                        G
And to gather it all in a bunch of heather
                               (And to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten)
Am         G   C G/B  Am   G  Am
Then she'll be a true love of mine
   [Verse 5]
Am      C        G           Am
Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
C        Am    C   D      Am
Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme
         C                   G
Remember me to one who lives there
Am       G   C G/B  Am   G  Am
She once was a true love of mine
