[E] So flow gently, sweet rhythm, disturb not her chain.
Thou stalked of [B] whose echo [A] resounds through the [Em] glen.
O [G#m] ye wild, [E] whistling blackbirds, [A] in yon thorny [E] den.
Thou green crest, [C#] the lapwing, [E] thine screaming forebear.
O how [C#m] charred you [E] disturb not [A] my slumbering [E] friend.
How [C#m]
lofty, [F#] sweet afton [A] thy neighboring [E] hills.
Far [F#m] marked by the courses [A] of clear winding [B] rails.
[D#] There daily [A] I wander [G#] as the moon [C#m] rises high.

O [E] my [A] flocks and my marys, sweet cotton [C#] my eyes.

thy crystal [E] stream, afton, how [A] lovely it [Em] glides.

Flow [E]
gently, sweet [A] afton, among thy [Em] green braes.
[C#m] Flow gently, sweet [E] river, [A] the theme of [E] my lays.
My Mary's asleep by [A] thy murmuring [E] stream.
