Barns Courtney (born Barnaby George Courtney on 17 November 1990 in Aylesbury, England) is an English singer, songwriter and musician.
Courtney spent a large part of his childhood in Seattle,USA, before returning to home country UK as a 15-year-old. This change of scenery comes across as clearly in his eclectic mix of US blues-rock, hip-hop and grunge with British indie melodic sensibilities, as it does in his hybrid US-British twang.

[Verse] CAmEm She came to me in rows of white GC in the corner of my room. AmEm A spectre of the night, GC Silhouetted by the moon.
[Pre-Chorus] CAmEm We're floating fast over traffic lights GC Bearing down on blackened skies. AmEm Colors burst as I close my eyes. G Ooo-oooh, she said...
[Chorus] CAmEmG Lay me down in golden dandelions CAmEmG 'Cause I've been waiting for this moment all my life. C Follow me into the dark AmEmG Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh. Ooh CAmEmG She said lay me down in golden dandelions CEmAmG 'Cause I've been waiting.
[Verse] CAmEm A thousand pictures in my mind GC in a painting of the past. AmEm I'm brushing over lines, GC And I'll paint them all again.

[Bridge] DmAm And aren't we bright EmAm in the candlelight. FAm I will cradle all these memories G until the end.
[Chorus] CAmEmG Lay me down in golden dandelions CAmEmG 'Cause I've been waiting for this moment all my life. C Follow me into the dark AmEmG Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh. Ooh CAmEmG She said lay me down in golden dandelions CEmAmG 'Cause I've been waiting.
