Standard (EADGBE)
Verse
Have you been to the fields?
Something there made me afraid
Like dying younger
If the ground never yields
We will feel the hunger
Take him out with the seeds
Roll him on the barren ground
Mix blood and water
Do not doubt our every need
She will feed, look what we got her
Chorus
Clear the way for Johnny Barleycorn
This is the day that surely he will be reborn
Bring down the blade on Johnny
He shall be the one that will be torn
Solo
Verse
Ringing out the new year
Sing out the names of the dead
Like Johnny Barleycorn
Give him a cheer Hey
Can you hear the newborn?
Chorus
Clear the way for Johnny Barleycorn
This is the day that surely he will be reborn
Bring down the blade on Johnny
(repeat above 1x)
He shall be the one that will be torn
He shall be the one that will be torn
recommended chord formations: (also barre chords sound good, and
you can play the full chords of course)
This add-on sounds good on the D and A in the verses
