Nickel Creek - Sweet Afton - Dadgad guitar tab

I've seen the other DADGAD tabs of this song, and this sounded better to me.

It sounds like it would blend better with the mandolin tab I posted. It's also

a little simpler to play. Let me know what you think. Enjoy!

Verse 1:

E B A E E

Flow gently, sweet Afton, among thy green braes,

C#m B A E E

Flow gently, I'll sing thee a song in thy praise;

My Mary's asleep by thy murmuring stream,

Flow gently, sweet Afton, disturb not her dream.

Verse 2:

Thou stock dove whose echo resounds thro' the glen,

Ye wild whistly blackbirds in yon thorny den,

Thou green crested lapwing, thy screaming forbear,

I charge you, disturb not my slumbering fair.

Chorus:

C#m B A E E

How lofty, sweet Afton, thy neighboring hills,

F#m F#m A B B

Far mark'd with the courses of clear winding rills;

G#m A G# C#m B A E

There daily I wander as noon rises high, oooh,

F#m F#m A B B

My flocks and my Mary's sweet cot in my eye.

Verse 3:

How pleasant thy banks and green valleys below,

Where, wild in the woodlands, the primroses blow;

There oft, as mild evening sweeps over the lea,

The sweet-scented birk shades my Mary and me.

Chorus:

Thy crystal stream, Afton, how lovely it glides,

And winds by the cot where my Mary resides;

How wanton thy waters her snowy feet lave,

As, gathering sweet flowerets, she stems thy clear wave.

Verse 4:

Flow gently, sweet Afton, among thy green braes,

Flow gently, sweet river, the theme of my lays;

My Mary's asleep by thy murmuring stream,

Flow gently, sweet Afton, disturb not her dreams.
