So here's my own arrangement of Scarborough fair. I recommend if you're a tenor or soprano and
you want to sing along with the instrumental part put a capo on the 6th fret, if you're a baritone/bass or
an alto you'll probably be fine with it as written
Standard tuning
Enjoy!

Lyrics
Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme;
Remember me to one, who lives there,
For once she/he was a true lover of mine.
Tell her to make me a cambric shirt,
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme;
Without a seam or needlework,
Then she shall be a true lover of mine.
Tell her to wash it in yonder dry well,
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme;
Where no spring water or rain ever fell,
And she shall be a true lover of mine.
Tell her to dry it on yonder black thorn,
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme;
Which never bore blossom since Adam was born,
Then she shall be a true lover of mine.
If she tells me she can't, then I'll reply.
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
let me know, that at least she will try.
Then she'll be a true love of mine
Now he has asked me questions three,
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme;
I hope he'll answer as many for me
Before he shall be a true lover of mine.
Tell him to buy me an acre of land,
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme;
Betwixt the salt water and the sea sand,
Then he shall be a true lover of mine.
Tell him to plough it with a ram's horn,
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme;
And sow it all over with one pepper corn,
And he shall be a true lover of mine.
Tell him to sheer't with a sickle of leather,
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme;
And bind it up with one peacock feather.
And he shall be a true lover of mine.
Tell him to thrash it on yonder great wall,
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme,
And never let one corn of it fall,
Then he shall be a true lover of mine.
When he has done and finished his work.
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme:
Oh, tell him to come and he'll have his shirt,
And he shall be a true lover of mine.
Love imposes impossible tasks
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
though not more than any heart can ask.
And I must know she/he’s true love of mine
