Verse 1

[Am]Are you going to [G]Scarborough Fair
[C]Parsley, sage, [Am]rosemary and [D]thyme
[Am]Remember me [C]to one who [G/B]lives there [Am][G]
[Am]She once was a [G]true love of [Am]mine

Verse 2

[Am]Tell her to make me a cambric shirt
(On the side of a hill in the deep forest green)
[C]Parsley, sage, [Am]rosemary and [D]thyme
[Am](Tracing of sparrow on snow-crested brown)
[Am]Without no seams nor [C]needle work
(Blankets and bedclothes the child of the mountain)
[Am]Then she'll be a [G]true love of [Am]mine
(Sleeps unaware of the clarion call)

Verse 3

[Am]Tell her to find me an acre of land
(On the side of a hill, a sprinkling of leaves)
[C]Parsley, sage, [Am]rosemary and [D]thyme
(Washes the grave with silvery tears)
[Am]Between the salt water [C]and the sea strands
(A soldier cleans and polishes a gun)
[Am]Then she'll be a [G]true love of [Am]mine

Verse 4

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

Verse 5

[Am]Are you going to [G]Scarborough Fair
[C]Parsley, sage, [Am]rosemary and [D]thyme
[Am]Remember me [C]to one who [G/B]lives there
[Am]She once was a [G]true love of [Am]mine
