"Lullaby of spring", by Donovan
-------------------

	[Guitar Eb MajorEb]

The guitar is tuned in "Eb", that is to say you have
to tune each string half a step down. This isn't compulsory,
but that is the right sound (well on my record at last).

As usual with Donovan you'll have to listen carefully to the
record to pick up the arpegios he is using. Play softly during
the verses and a bit stronger in the chorus.

During the chorus, you'll have to change your root note each beat :
I only wrote the chords when you have to move one finger of your left
hand (for example the well-known C majorC - C/GC/G). For instance, when it's
written Em, play Em/B - Em/E.

The chords are quite simple :
 E minorEm    : 022000
 G+G     : 320003
 D/F#D/F#  : 20023x

 c     : x32010
 C/GC/G   : 3x2010
 B7B7    : x21202 (or x2120x)
 B7/F# : 3x1202 (or 3x120x)
 B minorBm    : x24432 (barre II)
 A minorAm    : 002210


Intro and stanza :

      E minorEm        G+G             D/F#D/F#      E minorEm

E minorEm       G+G        D/F#D/F#    E minorEm
Rain has showered far her drip
G+G          D/F#D/F#    E minorEm
Splash and trickle running,
E minorEm        G+G        D/F#D/F#   E minorEm
Plant has flowered in the sand
G+G         D/F#D/F#   E minorEm
Shell and pebble sunning.


        Chorus :

	C majorC    C/GC/G   B7B7      B7/F#
	So begins another spring,
	E minorEm                  B minorBm
	Green leaves and of berries,
	A minorAm                   E minorEm
	Chiff-chaff eggs are painted by
	B7B7          B7/F#      E minorEm (repeat it several times)
	Mother bird eating cherries.


In the misty tangled sky
Fast a wind is blowing,
In the new-born rabbit's heart
River life is flowing.


Chorus

>From the dark and wetted soil,
Petals are unfolding.
>From the stony village kirk,
Easter bells of old ring.


Chorus + play the stanza pattern once

Rain has showered far her drip
Splash and trickle running,
Plant has flowered in the sand
Shell and pebble sunning.


Chorus + play the beginning of the stanza
         pattern and add a little conclusion
         that ends with an E MajorE
