D5                   D4 D        G             D 
Where the water 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
[Strophe]
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
[Strophe]
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
[Strophe]
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
[Strophe]
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
