Capo: 2

Donovan - Try For The Sun Transcribed by Matthew Choat This is a very fun, and easy song. I enjoy playing this one with a harmonica at the end. Capo 2nd fret (key of A) Verse1:

^GWe stood in the ^Cwindy ^Dcity, ^CThe gypsy ^Dboy and^G I. ^GWe slept on the ^Cbreeze in the ^Dmidnight ^CWith the rain droppin', ^Dtears in our e^Gyes. Chorus: ^CAnd who's going to ^Dbe the o^Gne ^CTo say it was no g^Dood what we ^Gdone' C D G (Em) <--optional chord I dare a man to say I'm too young, ^CFor I'm going to t^Dry for the ^Gsun.

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!
