Darcy Farrow 
                      
Key E (Capo 4th Fret) 
                                 
Intro: 1 2 1 2 3 4 F G C F C G C 
C                                   F             C     
Where the Walker runs down into the Carson Valley plain 
              Em            Dm             G    
There lived a maiden, Darcy Farrow was her name 
    C                             F            C   
The daughter of old Dundee, and a fair one was she 
    F     G   C      F    C       G        C     
The sweet-est flower that bloomed o'er the range 
C                          F         C  
Her voice was sweet as the sugar can-dy 
                 Em        Dm           G    
Her touch was as soft as a bed of goose down 
    C                          F      C      
Her eyes shone bright like the pretty lights 
     F     G      C     F      C    G      C    
That shone in the night out of Yerr-ington town 
C                        F      C    
She was courted by young Vander-meer 
          Em           Dm      G    
And quite handsome was he as I hear 
   C                            F    C      
He brought her silver rings and lacy things 
        F    G       C      F        C     G         C    
And she prom-ised to wed be-fore the snows fell that year 
                   
Instrumental Verse 
                                  
C F C Em Dm G C F C F G C F C G C 
C                            F       C    
But her pony did stumble and she did fall 
                      Em          Dm      G   
Her dyin' touched the heart of us one and all 
      C                        F                  C     
Young Vandy in his pain, put a bullet through his brain 
       F      G       C      F      C        G      C    
And we buried them to-gether as the snows be-gan to fall 
C                                   F            C       
They sing of Darcy Farrow where the truckies run through 
                 Em            Dm         G   
They sing of her beauty in Vir-ginia City too 
   C                    F                 C     
At dusky sundown to her name they drink a round 
    F  G     C   F         C    G   C    
And to young Van-dy, whose love was true 
C                                   F             C     
Where the Walker runs down into the Carson Valley plain 
              Em            Dm             G    
There lived a maiden, Darcy Farrow was her name 
    C                             F            C   
The daughter of old Dundee, and a fair one was she 
    F     G   C      F    C       G        C     
The sweet-est flower that bloomed o'er the range
