Try For The Sun

Donovan
 GCD
 We stood in the windy city,
 CDG
 The gypsy boy and I.
 GCD
 We slept on the breeze in the midnight
 CDG
 With the rain droppin', tears in our eyes.
Chorus:
 CDG
 And who's going to be the one
 CDG
 To say it was no good what we done?
C D G (Em) <--optional chord
I dare a man to say I'm too young,
 CDG
 For I'm going to try for the sun.

Verse 2: (same chords as V1)

We huddled in a derelict building
And when he thought I was asleep
He laid his poor coat round my shoulder,
And shivered there beside me in a heap.
::Repeat chorus::

Verse 3:

We sang and cracked the sky with laughter,
Our breath turned to mist in the cold.
Our years put together count to thirty,
But our eyes told the dawn we were old.
::Repeat chorus::

Verse 4:

Mirror, mirror, hanging in the sky,
Won't you look down what's happening here below?
I stand here singing to the flowers,
So very few people really know.
::Repeat chorus::

::Repeat verse 1::

::Repeat Chorus::

That's about all there is to it! If you want to play it the way Donovan does, try
a harmonic after each G on the chorus. As for that optional Em chord in the chorus, Donovan
it in the album version but doesn't play it live, but I prefer to play it because it
better ;) And as with almost any Donovan song, hammer-on's are your friend! If you would
any other Donovan tabs that I haven't posted yet e-mail me at moc0007@gmail.com
