Darcy Farrow – JOHN DENVER
G A D G D A D
Where the wal-[D] ker runs down
thru the [G] Carson Valley [D] Plain
there lived a [Dm] maiden
Darcy [E7] Farrow was her name.[A]
The [D] daughter of Old Dundee
and fair [G] one was [D] she
the [G] sweet [A] est flow [D] er [G]
that blo[D]omed o [A] ver the [D] range.
Her [D] voice was as sweet
as the [G] sugar can-[D] dy
Her touch was as [Dm] soft
as a [E7] bed of goose down [A]
her [D] eyes shone bright
like the [G] pretty [D] lights
that [G] shine [A] in the [D] night
[G] out of [D] Yerring [A] ton [D] town.
[D] She [C] was courted
by [G] young [E] Vandamere [D]
a fine lad was [Dm] he
as [E7] I am to hear.[A]
He [D] gave her silver rings
and [G] la- [E] cy [D] things
she [G] prom [A] ised to [D] wed
[G] before the [D] snows [A] came that [D] year
But her [D] pony did stumble
and [G] she did [D] fall
her dying touched the [Dm] hearts
of [E7 ]us one and all [A]
Young [D] Vandy in his pain
put a bullet [G] thru his [D] brain
we [G] buried [A] them toge [D] ther
as [G] the [D] snow be [A] gan to [D] fall.
[D] They [C] sing of Darcy Farrow
[G] where [E] the Truckee [D] runs thru
they sing of her beaut [Dm] y
in [E7] Virginia City, too.
[A]At [D] dusky sun-down
to her name [G] they [E] drink a [D] round
and [G] to [A] young [D] Van- [G] dy
whose [D] love [A] was [D[ true.
