There were seven sons in Yarrow
         C                                G
And they all did fight for their own true love

In the dewy, dewy dens of Yarrow

"Oh mother dear, I dreamed a dream
                     Am
A dream of grief and sorrow
  C                         G
I dreamed I saw my own true love

In the dewy, dewy dens of Yarrow"

                        Am
Your dream of grief and sorrow
     C                    G
Your love today is laying slain
                          Am      G  Am  G
In the dewy, dewy dens of Yarrow"


[Verse 4]
    Am                 G
She sought him up, she sought him down
                           Am
She sought him all through Yarrow
    C                         G
And there she found him lying slain
                          Am      G  Am  G
In the dewy, dewy dens of Yarrow


[Verse 5]
    Am                 G
Her hair, it was three quarters long
                         Am
And the colour of it was yellow
    C                               G
She wrapped it around his middle so small
                          Am      G  Am  G
And carried him home from Yarrow


[Verse 6]
    Am                G
"Oh mother dear, come make my bed
                      Am
Come make it soft and narrow
    C                       G
For my true love has died tonight
                          Am      G  Am  G
In the dewy, dewy dens of Yarrow"


[Verse 7]
    Am                 G
She dressed herself in clean white clothes
                          Am
And away to the waters of Yarrow
    C                            G
And there she lay her sweet self down
                         Am      G  Am  G
And died on the banks of Yarrow


[Verse 8]

There were seven sons in Yarrow
         C                                G
And they all did fight for their own true love
                          Am      G  Am  G
In the dewy, dewy dens of Yarrow
