In the transition from verse to verse and chorus to verse play the transition (TRANS) which is
E1 - B - A - Eand then C#m - B - A - E (one complete TRANS)
Listen to the song to figure out the strumming pattern, it's not that hard to pickup.
Verse1
Flow gE1entlyB, sweet AAfton, among thy greenE braes,
Flow gC#mently,B I'll sinAg thee a song in thy Epraise;
My MarE1y's aBsleep by Athy murmuring stream,E
Flow gC#mently,B sweet AfAton, disturb not her Edream.
TRANS 1x
Verse2
Thou sE1tock-Bdove whosAe echo resounds thro'E the glen,
Ye wilC#md whisBtling blaAckbirds in yon thornyE den,
Thou gE1reen-Bcrested lAapwing, thy screamingE forebear,
I charC#mge youB disturb Anot my slumbering faiEr.
Chorus1
How lC#mofty,B sweet Afton, thAy neighEboring hills,
Far maF#mrk'd with F#mthe courses oAf clear windingB rills,
ThereG#m dailAy I wandeG#mr as nooC#mn risBes hAigh,E oooh,
My floF#mcks and F#mmy Mary's sweAet cot in my eyBe.
TRANS 2x
Verse3
How plE1easanBt thy banAks and green valleys Ebelow,
Where C#mwild iBn the wooAdlands the primroses Eblow;
There E1oft aBs mild EvA'ning weeps over the Elea
The swC#meet scBented birAk shades my Mary and Eme.
Chorus2
Thy cC#mrystaBl stream, Afton,A how loEvely it glides,
And wiF#mnds by the cot whF#mere my Mary rAesides, B
How wG#manton thy watAers her snowy feG#met lave, C#m B
As gatF#mhering sweet flowF#m'rets she steAms thy clear waBve.
Verse4
Flow gE1entlyB, sweet AAfton, among thy greenE braes,
Flow gC#mently,B sweet riAver, the theme of my Elays,
My MarE1y's aBsleep by Athy murmuring stream,E
Flow gC#mently, sweeBt Afton, Adisturb not Bher dream. E
To the end the song, play the TRANS through 1x and end on either E or E1,
though E1 sounds a little better.
