Am E7
Am
I shall tell of a hunter
Dm
whose life was undone
Am
By the cruel hand of evil
E7
at the setting of the sun
Am
His arrow was loosed
Dm
and it flew through the dark,
Am
And his true love was slain
Dm E7 Am
as the sha-aft found it's mark
C
She'd her apron wrapped about her
E7
and he took her for a swan
Am
And it's oh and alas
Dm E7 Am
it was she-e, Polly Vaughn
Am Dm
Am E7
Am
He ran up beside her
Dm
and found it was she
Am
He turned away his head
E7
for he could not bear to see
Am
He lifted her up
Dm
and found she was dead,
Am
A fountain of tears
Dm E7 Am
for his tru-ue love, he shed.
C
For she'd her apron wrapped about her
E7
and he took her for a swan
Am
And it's oh and alas
Dm E7 Am
it was she-e, Polly Vaughn
Am Dm
Am E7
Am
He bore her away
Dm
to his home by the sea
Am
Cried, "Father, oh father,
E7
I murdered poor Polly!
Am
I've killed my fair love
Dm
in the flower of her life!
Am
I had always intended
Dm E7 Am
that she-e'd be my wife."
C
"But she'd her apron wrapped about her
E7
and I took her for a swan
Am
And it's oh and alas,
Dm E7 Am
it was she-e, Polly Vaughn."

Am Dm
Am Dm E7 Am
Am
He roamed near the place
Dm
where his true love was slain
Am
He wept bitter tears,
E7
but his cries were all in vain.
Am
As he looked on the lake,
Dm
a swan glided by
Am
And the sun slowly sank
Dm E7 Am
in the gre-ey of the sky.
C
She'd her apron wrapped about her
E7
and he took her for a swan
Am
And it's oh and alas
Dm E7 Am
it was she-e, Polly Vaughn
C
Well, whe'd her apron wrapped about her
E7
and he took her for a swan
Am
And it's oh and alas
Dm E7 Am
it was she-e, Polly Vaughn
Am Dm
Am E7
