"Scarborough Fair" is a traditional English ballad that hangs in some versions at least upon a possible visit by an unidentified person (the "third party") to the Yorkshire town of Scarborough.
The song implies the tale of a man who instructs the third party to tell his former love, who lives in said fair town, to perform for him a series of impossible tasks, such as making for him a shirt without a seam and then washing it in a dry well, adding that if she were to complete these tasks he would take her back into his affections. Often the song is sung as a duet, with the woman then giving her sometime lover a series of equally impossible tasks, promising to give him his seamless shirt once he has finished.

Here is a version for Guitar trio with standard guitar notation and tablature. 9 pages all Gtrs, 3 pages Gtr1, 3 pages Gtr2, 3 pages Gtr3 - total 18 pages in landscape page format for easier interpreting.
With downlaodable mp3 for audio help.
Guitar 3 easy to early intemrediate, Guitar 1 and 2 (which plays the melody) easy.

This is an easy arrangement which is ideal for a school concert or for an adult ensemble that is just starting out. All three lines are musically interesting and lock together well, so this piece will come together quickly. Although there are no dynamic markings, you're free to add your own (and you really should experiment with what works for you!)

There are optional chords for those who like to strum!
