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

 O'Thy cBmrystal stream, AAfton, how lGovely it gDlides,

 And wEminds by the cot where my MGary resideAs;

 How wF♯manton thy wGaters her sF♯mnowy feet lBmave, D

 As, Emgathering sweet flowerets, she Gstems thy clear Awave.

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.

There it is! I hope it easy enough to follow and play. What a pretty song.

This is a Robert Burns poem that Chris put music to, sure sounds nice.

Give me some feedback as to what you thought.

Thanks
