A great jazzy track off of Donovan's 1968 record "Hurdy Gurdy Man", always loved this song so I thought I'd tab it out! Enjoy! :) [Intro] Bbm/C# F C# C F C Dm7 C/E (or notes C D E) [Verse 1]
F              Am  
As I recall it, the sun was high,

Cm7  F7        Bb 
Yellow in the blue, blue sky.

Bbm                F        Dm7
You couldn't quite make out this boy,

C#                Gm7  C7
He used life as a toy.

F          Am
In a Marie-Antoinette room

Cm7 F7        Bb
We were introduced soon,

Bbm           F       Dm7
I was me and you were you,

C#         Gm7  C7
How do you do ?
[Verse 2]
F          Am
Raggedy and tousle-haired

Cm7 F7                  Bb
He looked as though he never cared

Bbm                 F          Dm7           
To run a comb where a comb should run,

C#                Gm7  C7
Freckles from the sun.

F            Am
Many good times we have had,

Cm7      F7     Bb
We been happy, we been sad,

Bbm              F         Dm7
But I think we both feel glad

C#                Gm7      C7
That this life is so mad, mad, mad.
[Instrumental] F Am Cm7 F7 Bb Bbm F Dm7 C# C Dm7 C/E F Am Cm7 Bb Bbm F Dm7 C# C F [Chorus]
F              Am
As I recall it, the sun was high,

Cm7    F7         Bb   
If I remember it, so was I,

Bbm                 F       Dm7
You couldn't quite make out this boy,

C#            Gm7  C7
He used life as a toy.

F              Am
Many good times we have had,

We been happy, baby, we been sad,

Bbm              F         Dm7
But I think we both feel glad

C#                 Gm7  C7
That this life is so mad.

F              Am
As I recall it, the sun was high,

Cm7 F7         Bb
Yellow in the blue, blue sky,

Bbm                   F       Dm7
You couldn't quite make out this boy,

He used life as a toy.
