E1 B A E

Flow gently, sweet Afton, among thy green braes,

C#m B A E

Flow gently, I'll sing thee a song in thy praise;

E1 B A E

My Mary's asleep by thy murmuring stream,

C#m B A E

Flow gently, sweet Afton, disturb not her dream.


E1 B A E

Thou stock-dove whose echo resounds thro' the glen,

C#m B A E

oh Ye wild whistling blackbirds in yon thorny den,

E1 B A E
Thou green-crested lapwing, thy screaming forebear,

C#m B A E

oh I charge you disturb not my slumbering fair.


 C#m B A E

oh How lofty, sweet Afton, thy neighboring hills,

F#m F#m A B

Far mark'd with the courses of clear winding rills,

G#m A G# C#m B A E 

There daily I wander as noon rises high, oooh,

F#m F#m A B

My flocks and my Mary's sweet cot in my eye.

E1 B A E

How pleasant thy banks and green valleys below,

C#m B A E

Where wild in the woodlands the primroses blow;

E1 B A E

There oft as mild Ev'ning sweeps over the lea

C#m B A E

The sweet scented birk shades my Mary and me.



C#m B A E

oh Thy crystal stream, Afton, how lovely it glides,

F#m F#m A B

And winds by the cot where my Mary resides,

G#m A G#m C#m B

How wanton thy waters her snowy feet lave,

F#m F#m A B

As gathering sweet flow'rets she stems thy clear wave.


E1 B A E

Flow gently, sweet Afton, among thy green braes,

C#m B A E

Flow gently, I'll sing thee a song in thy praise;

E1 B A E

My Mary's asleep by thy murmuring stream,

C#m B A E

Flow gently, sweet Afton, disturb not her dream.
