Verse 1:
RE LA SOL RE
Flow gently, sweet Afton, among thy green braes,
SIm LA SOL RE
Flow gently, I'll sing thee a song in thy praise;
RE LA SOL RE
My Mary's asleep by thy murmuring stream,
SIm LA SOL RE
Flow gently, sweet Afton, disturb not her dream.
Filler:

Verse 2:
RE LA SOL RE
Thou stock dove whose echo resounds thro' the glen,
SIm LA SOL RE
All Ye wild whistly blackbirds in yon thorny den,
RE LA SOL RE
Thou green crested lapwing, thy screaming forbear,
SIm LA SOL RE
O'I charge you, disturb not my slumbering fair.
Chorus
SIm LA SOL RE
O'How lofty, sweet Afton, thy neighboring hills,
MIm SOL LA
Far mark'd with the courses of clear winding rills;
FA#m SOL FA#m SIm LA SOL RE
There daily I wander as noon rises high,... oooh,
MIm SOL LA
My flocks and my Mary's sweet cot in my eye.
Filler (violin) D A G D Bm A G D
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
SIm LA SOL RE
O'Thy crystal stream, Afton, how lovely it glides,
MIm SOL LA
And winds by the cot where my Mary resides;
FA#m SOL FA#m SIm RE
How wanton thy waters her snowy feet lave,
MIm SOL LA
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.
