[Intro]
Am  Dm
Am  E7


[Verse 1]
Am                              Dm
I shall tell of a hunter whose life was undone
         Am                                     E7
By the cruel hand of evil at the setting of the sun
      Am                    Dm
His arrow was loosed and it flew through the dark,
         Am                        Dm  E7             Am
And his true love was slain as the sha-aft found it's mark


[Chorus]
            C                                            E7
She'd her apron wrapped about her and he took her for a swan
         Am                 Dm  E7        Am
And it's oh and alas it was she-e, Polly Vaughn
Am  Dm
Am  E7

[Verse 2]
   Am                     Dm
He ran up beside her and found it was she
     Am                                          E7
He turned away his head for he could not bear to see
     Am               Dm
He lifted her up and found she was dead,
   Am                       Dm  E7           Am
A fountain of tears for his tru-ue love, he shed.


[Chorus]
                C                                            E7
For she'd her apron wrapped about her and he took her for a swan
         Am                 Dm  E7        Am
And it's oh and alas it was she-e, Polly Vaughn
Am  Dm
Am  E7

[Verse 3]
    Am                  Dm
He bore her away to his home by the sea
         Am                                 E7
Cried, "Father, oh father, I murdered poor Polly!
      Am                         Dm
I've killed my fair love in the flower of her life!
       Am                  Dm  E7         Am
I had always intended that she-e'd be my wife."


[Chorus]
                C                                            E7
"But she'd her apron wrapped about her and I took her for a swan
         Am                  Dm  E7        Am
And it's oh and alas, it was she-e, Polly Vaughn."

[Verse 4]
     Am                            Dm
He roamed near the place where his true love was slain
    Am                                           E7
He wept bitter tears, but his cries were all in vain.
        Am                   Dm
As he looked on the lake, a swan glided by
        Am                     Dm  E7        Am
And the sun slowly sank in the gre-ey of the sky.


[Chorus]
            C                                            E7
She'd her apron wrapped about her and he took her for a swan
         Am                 Dm  E7        Am
And it's oh and alas it was she-e, Polly Vaughn


[Chorus]
                 C                                             E7
Well, whe'd her apron wrapped about her and he took her for a swan
         Am                 Dm  E7        Am
And it's oh and alas it was she-e, Polly Vaughn
