darcy farrow chords
john denver ( tom campbell and steve gillette 1965 )

capo i *

E E7 A E E7 E B E E7 A E A E A E

E E7 A E
where the walker runs down to the carson valley plain
E7 E B
there lived a maiden , darcy farrow was her name
E E7 A E
the daughter of old dundee and a fair one was she
A E A E
the sweetest flower that bloomed over the range

E E7 A E
her voice was as sweet as the sugar candy
E7 E B
her touch was as soft as a bed of goose down
E E7 A E
her eyes shone bright like the pretty lights
A E A E
that shine in the night out of yerrington town

E E7 A E
she was courted by young vandamere
E7 E B
a fine lad was he as i Am to hear
E E7 A E
he gave her silver rings and lacy things
A E A E
and she promised to wed before the snows came that year

E E7 A E
but her pony did stumble and she did fall
E7 E B
her dying touched the hearts of us one and all
E E7 A E
young vandy in his pain put a bullet through his brain
A E A E
and we buried them together as the snows began to fall

E E7 A E E7 E B E E7 A E A E A E

E E7 A E
they sing of darcy farrow where the truckee runs through
E7 E B
they sing of her beauty in virginia city too
E E7 A E
at dusky sundown to her name they drink a round
A E A E
and to young vandy whose love was true

E E7 A E
