Well thats it roughly. I think I have the chords in the right places, but I dont have my guitar with me so I not entirely sure. You should find that it comes together mostly. The C Cmin G bit is best played at the third fret as a barre. I always play this fairly fast, and loud. Its actually quite a party piece. There is after all nothing quite like at 20 year old Vietnam protest song to prove what an irrelevant washed out old hippie that you really are ============================================================================ | And the cuckoo she moves through the dawn fanfare | Phil Lord | | The dew leaves the roofs in the magic air | Edinburgh | | I feel a finger running through my nightmare lair | Scotland | | I feel most together with my nowhere stare | | ===========================================================================| | phillip@uk.ac.mrc.hgu (preferred) | | phillip@uk.ac.ed.mrcvax (well it might work) | | plord@uk.ac.menu.hgmp (if all else fails, but don't expect a | | quick reply) | ============================================================================
