Scarborough Fair (Canticle) - Simon & Garfunkel
Am7 Amadd9 G Am7 Amadd9
Are you going to Scarborough Fair:
C Am C D Am7 Amadd9 Am7 Amadd9
Parley, sage, rosemary and thyme.
Am C G Am G
Remember me to one who lives there.
Am G Am7 Amadd9 Am7 Amadd9
She once was a true love of mine.
Am7 Amadd9 G Am7
Tell her to make me a cambric shirt:
Am7 Amadd9 G Am7 Amadd9 C Am C D
(On the side of a hill in the deep forest green.)
C Am C D Am7 Am7 Amadd9 Am7 Amadd9
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme;
Am7 Am Am7 Amadd9 Am C
(Tracing of sparrow on snow-crested brown.)
Am C G Am G
Without no seems nor nee-dle work,
C G Am G Am G
(Blankets and bedclothes the child of the mountain)
Am G Am7
Then she'll be a true love of mine.
Am7 Amadd9 Am7 Amadd9
(Sleeps unaware of the clarion call.)
Am7 Amadd9 G Am7 Amadd9
Tell her to find me an acre of land:
Am7 Amadd9 G Am7 Amadd9 C
(On the side of a hill a sprinkling of leaves.)
C Am C D Am7 Amadd9 Am7 Amadd9
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme;
Am7 Amadd9 Am7 Amadd9
(Washes the grave with silvery tears.)
Am C G Am G
Between the salt water and the sea strand,
C G Am G Am G
(A soldier cleans and polishes a gun.)
Am G Am7 Amadd9 Am7 Amadd9
Then she'll be a true love of mine.
Am7 Amadd9 Am7 Amadd9
(Sleeps unaware of the clarion call.)
Am7 Amadd9 G Am7
Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather:
Am7 Amadd9 G Am7 Amadd9 C
(War bellows blazing in scarlet battalions.)
C Am C D Am7 Amadd9 Am7 Amadd9
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme;
Am7 Amadd9 Am7 Amadd9
(Generals order their soldiers to kill.)
Am C G Am G
And gather it all in a bunch of heather,
C G Am G Am G
(And to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten.)
Am G Am7 Am7 Cmaj7 Am
Then she'll be a true love of mine.
and that's it!
Good attempt, this is the closest chord version to Simon & Garfunkels version of the song here, the others, so far, should really be under the Traditional list, as they are pretty basic versions, which are fine for beginners.
To match S&G's original recording you need to mention you need a capo at the 7th fret. There are a few passing chords missing, and the actual chord shapes Paul Simon uses are crucial to achieving the right sound, basic shapes only get you partly there. The tabbed versions here on UG are closer.
