Chords

As recorded by Donovan (From the 1968 Album THE HURDY GURDY MAN - 2005 CD REISSUE BONUS TRACK) [Verse 1]
C              F                  G   C
I dwell in the north in the green country

F       G     F       G
Far I'm here, far I'm here

      C          F           C
And I take to my rest at the end of day

           G           F        G
Whilst o'erhead pretty stars do play
[Chorus]
C          G          Am
And then I dream along

       G      Am
Then I make a song

D                                    Am
About everything that I've known and felt

Am
And it makes my sadness melt

       F                                D
Then I wake up in the funny old kind of day

    F              D
The rain has gone away

F                     C
Watching the children sing and play

       F              C
In the garden and the roadway

F                     C
Up comes a little one singing a song

        F                       C
About a friend she knows called Rosie

F                    C
Off to the greenwood you must go

F                   C
Bring-a me one fine posie

F                   C                             D     G
All of a sudden I'm light as air, I feel sad as a butterfly
[Verse 2]
      C             F            C
Oh, I dwell with my pride and my songs and things

F       G      F    G
Wearily, oh so wearily

      C            F             C  G     C
And I dream of the girl with the sunshine eye

F     G            F       G
Sundaily, whatever she may be
[Chorus]
C          G          Am
And then I dream along

       G      Am
Then I make a song

D                                    Am
About everything that I've known and felt

Am
And it makes my sadness melt

       F                                D
Then I wake up in the funny old kind of day

    F              D
The rain has gone away

F                     C
Watching the children sing and play

       F              C
In the garden and the roadway

F                     C

[Verse 3]
      C            F                  C
Oh, I dwell in the north in the green country

F       G     F       G
Far I'm here, far I'm here

[Outro]
C          G                      
And then I dream along

And then I make a song

About everything that I've known and felt

F      C                D     G D G D                        
And it makes my sadness melt
