Chords

As recorded by Donovan (From the 1965 Album FAIRYTALE) [Intro] G C D C D G C G C G C G [Verse 1]
C  G               D
We stood in the windy city

C         D   G
The gypsy boy and I

                C                D
We slept on the breeze in the midnight

C                      D        G
With the rain droppin' tears in our eyes
[Chorus]
C               D     G
And who's going to be the one

   C          D            G
To say it was no good what we done?

C            D          G
I dare a man to say I'm too young

C             D              G
For I'm going to try for the sun
[Verse 2]
                C        D
We huddled in a derelict building

C           D              G
And when he thought I was asleep

                 C             D
He laid his poor coat round my shoulder

    C                D            G
And shivered there beside me in a heap
[Chorus]
C               D     G
And who's going to be the one

   C          D            G
To say it was no good what we done?

C            D          G
I dare a man to say I'm too young

C             D              G
For I'm going to try for the sun
[Verse 3]
                        C        D
We sang and cracked the sky with laughter

    C                D           G
Our breath turned to mist in the cold

                C               D
Our years put together count to thirty

        C             D            G
But our eyes told the dawn we were old
[Chorus]
C               D     G
And who's going to be the one

   C          D            G
To say it was no good what we done?

C            D          G
I dare a man to say I'm too young

C             D              G
For I'm going to try for the sun
[Harmonica Solo] G C D C D G [Verse 4]
                C              D
Mirror, mirror, hanging in the sky

          C                D                G
Won't you look down what's happening here below?

             C              D
I stand here singing to the flowers

   C        D             G
So very few people really know
[Chorus]
C               D     G
And who's going to be the one

   C          D            G
To say it was no good what we done?

C            D          G
I dare a man to say I'm too young

C             D              G
For I'm going to try for the sun
[Verse 5]
                C     D
We stood in the windy city

    C     D       G
The gypsy boy and I

                C             D
We slept on the breeze in the midnight

         C             D            G
With the rain droppin' tears in our eyes
[Chorus]
C               D     G
And who's going to be the one

   C          D            G
To say it was no good what we done?

C            D          G        Em
I dare a man to say I'm too young

    C            D           G
For I'm going to try for the sun
