[Verse 1]
Flow [C]gently, sweet [G]Afton,
a[F]mong thy green [C]braes
Flow [Am]gently, I'll [G]sing thee a [F]song in thy [C]praise
My Mary's a[G]sleep by thy [F]murmuring [C]stream
Flow [Am]gently, sweet [G]Afton,
dis[F]turb not her [C]dream

[Verse 2]
Thou [C]stock-dove whose [G]echo
re[F]sounds through the [C]glen
Oh, ye [Am]wild whistling [G]blackbirds
in [F]yon thorny [C]den
Thou green-crested [G]lapwing,
thy [F]screaming fore[C]bear
Oh, I [Am]change you dis[G]turb
not my [F]slumbering [C]fair

[Bridge 1]
Oh, how [Am]lofty, sweet [G]Afton,
thy [F]neighbouring [C]hills
Far [Dm]marked with the courses
of [F]clear winding [G]rills
There [Em]daily I [F]wander
as [E]noon rises [Am]high[G]
[F]Oh, [C]my flo[Dm]cks and my Mary's
sweet [F]cot in my [G]eye

[Verse 3]
How [C]pleasant thy [G]banks
and green [F]valleys be[C]low
Where [Am]wild in the [G]woodlands
the [F]primroses [G]blo[C]w
There [C]oft as mild [G]evening
sweeps [F]over the [C]lea
The [Am]sweet scented [G]birch shades
my [F]Mary and [C]me

[Bridge 2]
Oh, thy [Am]crystal stream, [G]Afton,
how [F]lovely it [C]glides
And [Dm]winds by her cot
where my [F]Mary re[G]sides
How [Em]wanton thy [F]waters
her [E]snowy feet [Am]lave[C]
As [Dm]gathering sweet flowerets
she [F]stems thy clear [G]wave

[Interlude 3]

[Verse 4]
Flow [C]gently, sweet [G]Afton,
a[F]mong thy green [C]braes
Flow [Am]gently,
sweet [G]river, the [F]theme of my [C]lays
My Mary's a[G]sleep by thy [F]murmuring [C]stream
So flow [Am]gently, sweet [G]Afton,
dis[F]turb not [G]her
