Hope this helps some of you fellow folk singers with this one, thank God I remembered the lyrics after all these years, I'm surprised more people don't do Donovan stuff, its generally 3 or 4 chord stuff, mostly in "G", the songs are very pretty and easy to sing, dug out this one and 4 others for my bar gig last week and made $10 in tips from some closet Donovan fans....Keep on....justasinger54
