Em G D Em Are you going to Scarborough Fair? G Em G A Em Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme G D Remember me to one who lives there Em D G D/F# Em D Em She once was a true love of mine 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 of sparrow on snow-crested ground Without no seams nor needle work Blankets and bedclothes the 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 grave with silvery tears Between the salt water and the sea strands A soldier cleans and polishes a gun Then she'll be a true love of mine Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather War bellows blazing in scarlet battalions Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme Generals order their soldiers to kill And 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 You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  D  Em  F#  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
