Capo on 3rd Fret for John's version
This version of the song involves a lot of hammer-ons and pull-offs with your pinky
finger. If you find it too hard you can play plain D instead of D5 and D4!

D5 D4 D G D
Where the walker runs down to the Carson Valley Plain
G D D5 D4 D A
There lived a maiden, Darcy Farrow was her name
D5 D4 D G D
The daughter of old Dundee and a fair one was she
G A D G D A D
The sweetest flower that bloomed over the range
D D5 D4 D G D
Her voice was as sweet as the sugar candy
G D D5 D4 D A
Her touch was as soft as a bed of goose down
D D5 D4 D G D
Her eyes shone bright like the pretty lights
G A D G D A D
That shine in the night out of Yerrington town
D5 D4 D G D
She was courted by Young Vandamere
G D D5 D4 D A
A fine lad was he as I am to hear
D D5 D4 D G D
He gave her silver rings and lacy things
G A D G D A D
And she promised to wed before the snows came that year
D D5 D4 D G D
But her pony did stumble and she did fall
G D D5 D4 D A
Her dying touched the hearts of us one and all
D5 D4 D G D
Young Vandy in his pain put a bullet through his brain
G A D G D A D
And we buried them together as the snows began to fall
D5 D4 D G D
They sing of Darcy Farrow where the Truckee runs through
G D D5 D4 D A
They sing of her beauty in Virginia City too
D5 D4 D G D
At dusky sundown to her name they drink a round
G A D G D A D
And to young Vandy whose love was true
