[Verse 1]
D A G D
Flow gently, sweet Afton, among thy green braes,
Bm A G D
Flow gently, I'll sing thee a song in thy praise;
D A G D
My Mary's asleep by thy murmuring stream,
Bm A G D
Flow gently, sweet Afton, disturb not her dream.
[Instrumental]
D A G D Bm A G D
[Verse 2]
D A G D
Thou stock dove whose echo resounds thro' the glen,
Bm A G D
All Ye wild whistly blackbirds in yon thorny den,
D A G D
Thou green crested lapwing, thy screaming forbear,
Bm A G D
O'I charge you, disturb not my slumbering fair.
[Chorus]
Bm A G D
O'How lofty, sweet Afton, thy neighboring hills,
Em G A
Far mark'd with the courses of clear winding rills;
F#m G F#m Bm A G D
There daily I wander as noon rises high,... oooh,
Em G A
My flocks and my Mary's sweet cot in my eye.
[Instrumental]
D A G D Bm A G D
[Verse 3]
D A G D
How pleasant thy banks and green valleys below,
Bm A G D
Where, wild in the woodlands, the primroses blow;
D A G D
There oft, as mild evening sweeps over the lea,
Bm A G D
The sweet-scented birk shades my Mary and me.
[Chorus]
Bm A G D
O'Thy crystal stream, Afton, how lovely it glides,
Em G A
And winds by the cot where my Mary resides;
F#m G F#m Bm D
How wanton thy waters her snowy feet lave,
Em G A
As, gathering sweet flowerets, she stems thy clear wave.
[Verse 4]
D A G D
Flow gently, sweet Afton, among thy green braes,
Bm A G D
Flow gently, I'll sing thee a song in thy praise;
D A G D
My Mary's asleep by thy murmuring stream,
Bm A G D
Flow gently, sweet Afton, disturb not her dream.
