[Verse 1]
D Am C G Am
There were three men came out of the west,
D C G Am Asus2 Am Asus2
Their fortunes for to try.
D Am C G Am Asus2 Am
And these three men made a solemn oath,
D C G Am Asus2 Am Asus2
John Barleycorn must die.
[Chorus 1]
C C C/B Am
They've ploughed, they've sewn, they've harrowed him in,
C D Esus4 E7 E7sus4 E7
Threw clods upon his head.
Dm Am C G Am Asus2 Am
And these three men made a solemn oath,
D C G Am Asus2 Am Asus2
John Barleycorn was dead.

D Am C G Am
They've let him lie for a very long time,
D C G Am Asus2 Am
Till the rains from heaven did fall.
D Am C G Am Asus2 Am
And little Sir John sprung up his head,
D C G Am Asus2 Am
and so amazed them all.
[Chorus 2]
C C C/B Am
They've let him stand till Midsummer's Day,
C D Esus4 E7 E7sus4 E7
Till he looked both pale and wan.
Dm Am C G Am Asus2 Am
And little Sir John has grown a long long beard
D C G Am Asus2 Am
And so become a man

D Am C G Am
They've hired men with the scythes so sharp,
D C G Am Asus2 Am
To cut him off at the knee.
D Am C G Am Asus2 Am
They've rolled him and tied him by the waist,
D C G Am Asus2 Am
Serving him most barbarously.
[Chorus]
C C C/B Am
They've hired men with the sharp pitchforks,
C D Esus4 E7 Esus4 E7
Who pricked him to the heart.
Dm Am C G Am Asus2 Am
And the loader he has served him worse than that,
D C G Am Asus2 Am
For he's bound him to the cart.

[Verse]
D Am C G Am
They've wheeled him around and around the field,
D C G Am Asus2 Am
Till they came unto a barn.
D Am C G Am Asus2 Am
And there they made a solemn oath,
D C G Am Asus2 Am
On poor John Barleycorn.
[Chorus]
C C C/B Am
They've hired men with the crab-tree sticks,
C D Esus4 E7 E7sus4 E7
To cut him skin from bone.
Dm Am C G Am Asus2 Am
And the miller he has served him worse than that,
D C G Am Asus2 Am
For he's ground him between two stones.

D Am C G Am
And little Sir John and the nut-brown bowl,
D C G Am Asus2 Am
And he’s brandy in the glass.
D Am C G Am Asus2 Am
And little Sir John and the nut-brown bowl,
D C G Am Asus2 Am
Proved the strongest man at last.
[Outro]
C C C/B Am
The huntsman, he can't hunt the fox,
C D Esus4 E7 E7sus4 E7
Nor so loudly to blow his horn.
Dm Am C G Am Asus2 Am
And the tinker he can't mend kettle nor pots,
D* C* G* Am**
Without a little Barleycorn.
* = single strum
** = Am ends like this:
