Further practice
Practice the song at your own pace with this drone track.
Drone in E – No Beat
Use this to practice the song at any speed.
My version of the song follows the vocal of the Simon and Garfunkel version. Perhaps the hardest thing about it is counting in between the parts. Listen carefully to the play along track to help with this.

Lyrics
Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
She was once a true love of mine.
