Tuning: E A D G B E
From the album "Like an old fashioned waltz" (1974). Acoustic version on "I've Always Kept a Unicorn - The Acoustic Sandy Denny" (2016). Listen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3RJWbvhi_U The falling baselines in the verse are crucial to the song, so the bass notes must be played: First from F sharp down to G and in the second half from G to A. One way is to start the progression with a barre on 7th freth e: x x x x x x 3 and then x x x x x x 5 b: 10 8 7 2 3 2 3 12 10 8 7 2 3 2 G: 7 9 7 2 5 2 0 12 7 9 7 2 5 2 D: 7 9 7 2 5 2 0 12 7 9 7 2 5 2 A: 9 7 5 4 2 0 2 10 9 7 5 4 2 0 E: x x x x x x 3 x x x x x x x Sandy's singing in the chorus is very rubato; take the chord placements as an approximation. [Verse 1]
