1. Are you going to Scarborough Fair 
    G       Emi      G   A     Emi 
   parsley sage rosemary and thyme 
             G          F#mi Emi    D 
   remember me to one who   lives there 
     Emi     D  Emi D   Emi D   Emi 
   she once was a true love of mine. 
2. 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 a sparrow on snow-crested ground 
   without no seams nor needlework 
   blankets and bedclothes a child of the mountains 
   then she'll be a true love of mine 
   sleeps unaware of the clarion call. 
3. Tell her to find me an acre of land 
   on the side of a hill, a sprinkling of leaves 
   parsley sage rosemary and thyme 
   washed is the ground with so many tears 
   between the salt water and the sea strand 
   a soldier cleans and polishes a gun 
   then she'll be a true love of mine. 
4. Tell her to reap it in a sickle of leather 
   war bellows blazing in scarlet battalions 
   parsley sage rosemary and thyme 
   generals order their soldiers to kill 
   and to 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.
