Nickel Creek â?? Sweet Afton
E1 - 0-7-9-9-0-0
E1 B A E
Flow gently, sweet Afton, among thy green braes,
Fl[C#m]ow gently, I'll [B]sing thee a son[A]g in thy praise;[E]
E1 B A E
My Mary's asleep by thy murmuring stream,
Fl[C#m]ow gently, sweet Af[B]ton, distu[A]rb not her dream.̷[E]2;
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,
Thou gre[E1]en-crested lapwing, [B]thy screaming forebea[A]r,
[E]
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];My flocks and[F#m] my Mary's sweet cot in[A] my eye.
[B];
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,
H[G#m]ow wanton thy wa[A]ters her snowy f[G#m]eet lav[C#m]e,̷[B]2;
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,
Fl[C#m]ow gently, I'll [B]sing thee a son[A]g in thy praise;[E]
E1 B A E
My Mary's asleep by thy murmuring stream,
Fl[C#m]ow gently, sweet Af[B]ton, distu[A]rb not her dream.̷[E]2;
