	E	B	A	E	E
Flow	gently, sweet	Afton, a	mong thy green	braes,

	C#m	B	A	E	E
Flow	gently, I'll s	ing thee a	song in thy	praise	;

My Mary's asleep by thy murmuring stream,

Flow gently, sweet Afton, disturb not her dream.

Verse 2:

Thou stock dove whose echo resounds thro' the glen,

Ye wild whistly blackbirds in yon thorny den,

Thou green crested lapwing, thy screaming forbear,

I charge you, disturb not my slumbering fair.

Chorus:

	C#m	B	A	E	E
How	lofty, sweet	Afton, thy	neighboring	hills	,

	F#m	F#m	A	B	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,	oo	oh,

	F#m	F#m	A	B	B
My f	locks and my	Mary's sweet	cot in my	eye.

Verse 3:

How pleasant thy banks and green valleys below,

Where, wild in the woodlands, the primroses blow;

There oft, as mild evening sweeps over the lea,

The sweet-scented birk shades my Mary and me.

Chorus:

Thy crystal stream, Afton, how lovely it glides,

And winds by the cot where my Mary resides;

How wanton thy waters her snowy feet lave,

As, gathering sweet flowerets, she stems thy clear wave.

Verse 4:

Flow gently, sweet Afton, among thy green braes,

Flow gently, sweet river, the theme of my lays;

My Mary's asleep by thy murmuring stream,

Flow gently, sweet Afton, disturb not her dreams.
