D5

[VERSE]

D5         A5           E5       G5
 Have you been to the fields?
D5          A5               E5    G5
 Something there made me afraid
            D5
 Like dying younger
       A5            E5      G5
If the ground never yields
E5        G5   A5
 We will feel the hunger
D5         A5            E5     G5
 Take him out with the seeds
D5         A5             E5
 Roll him on the barren ground
G5              D5
 Mix blood and water
        A5               E5    G5
 Do not doubt our every need
E5         G5    A5
 She will feed, look what we got her


D5  A5 *  (x2)

[CHORUS]

G5          A5              B5    G5
 Clear the way for Johnny Barleycorn
             A5               B5      A5    G5
 This is the day that surely he will be reborn
G5               A5              D5  G5
 Bring down the blade on Johnny
 C5        B5     A5        G5       D5    G5     D5 D5
 He shall be the one that will be torn

[SOLO]

D5    A5     E5    G5  (x3)

E5    G5     A5

[VERSE]

D5        A5           E5    G5
 Ringing out the new year
D5              A5           E5
 Sing out the names of the dead
G5            D5
 Like Johnny Barleycorn
A5           E5            G5
 Give him a cheer   Hey
E5        G5   A5
 Can you hear the newborn?


D5  A5 *  (x2)

[CHORUS]

G5          A5              B5    G5
 Clear the way for Johnny Barleycorn
             A5               B5      A5    G5
 This is the day that surely he will be reborn
G5               A5              D5  G5
 Bring down the blade on Johnny

(repeat above 1x)

 C5        B5     A5        G5       D5    G5
 He shall be the one that will be torn
 C5        B5     A5        G5       D5
 He shall be the one that will be torn

A  (fade out)
