Capo: 4 Tuning: E A D G B E

TO TRY FOR THE SUN As recorded by Donovan (From the 1965 Album FAIRYTALE) Capo 4th fret [Intro] G C D C D G C G C G C G [Verse 1]

^CWe ^Gstood in the win^Ddy city ^CThe gypsy ^Dboy ^Gand I We slept on the ^Cbreeze in the mid^Dnight ^CWith the rain droppin' ^Dtears in ^Gour eyes

[Chorus]

^CAnd who's going ^Dto be ^Gthe one To ^Csay it was ^Dno good what ^Gwe done? ^CI dare a man ^Dto say I'm ^Gtoo young ^CFor I'm going ^Dto try for the ^Gsun

[Verse 2]

We huddled in a ^Cderelict ^Dbuilding ^CAnd when he ^Dthought I was a^Gsleep He laid his poor ^Ccoat round my ^Dshoulder And ^Cshivered there be^Dside me in a ^Gheap

[Chorus]

^CAnd who's going ^Dto be ^Gthe one To ^Csay it was ^Dno good what ^Gwe done? ^CI dare a man ^Dto say I'm ^Gtoo young ^CFor I'm going ^Dto try for the ^Gsun

[Verse 3]

We sang and cracked the ^Csky with ^Dlaughter Our ^Cbreath turned to ^Dmist in the ^Gcold Our years put to^Cgether count to ^Dthirty But our ^Ceyes told the ^Ddawn we were ^Gold

[Chorus]

^CAnd who's going ^Dto be ^Gthe one To ^Csay it was ^Dno good what ^Gwe done? ^CI dare a man ^Dto say I'm ^Gtoo young ^CFor I'm going ^Dto try for the ^Gsun

[Harmonica Solo] G C D C D G [Verse 4]

Mirror, mirror, ^Changing in the ^Dsky Won't you ^Clook down what's ^Dhappening here be^Glow? I stand here ^Csinging to the ^Dflowers So ^Cvery few ^Dpeople really ^Gknow

[Chorus]

^CAnd who's going ^Dto be ^Gthe one To ^Csay it was ^Dno good what ^Gwe done? ^CI dare a man ^Dto say I'm ^Gtoo young ^CFor I'm going ^Dto try for the ^Gsun

[Verse 5]

We stood in the ^Cwindy ^Dcity The ^Cgypsy ^Dboy and ^GI We slept on the ^Cbreeze in the ^Dmidnight With the ^Crain droppin' ^Dtears in our ^Geyes

[Chorus]

^CAnd who's going ^Dto be ^Gthe one To ^Csay it was ^Dno good what ^Gwe done? ^CI dare a man ^Dto say I'm ^Gtoo young^Em For ^CI'm going to ^Dtry for the ^Gsun
