"The voyage of the Moon", by Donovan
------------------------

Standard tuning, no capo is used for this beautiful song.
So quiet, so relaxing ... Plus, it's really easy to play ;) !

The same piece is repeated all through the song : play it once
entirely for the introduction, then sing with it. Pay attention
to the second part, as you'll have to sing one note differently.

To introduce, play it once, entirely. At the end of each verse,
you'll have to play again too. Repeat first verse to finish.
As usual, listen to the record to get everything.

 Her ropes that limply run,       my love
-The moonships sail and fly,      my love,
 O may it be in mine,          my love,
-The women clothed in white,      my love,
 The ships will genlty land,      my love. (*)

  And with a sail of   gauze,  my love,
  -I see her pearly mast,       my love
  Down to the carved prow,      my love,
  -Though many are their kind,     my love,
  When men will proudly rise,     my love,
  -All in that woundrous fleet,    my love,
  Fair folk will meet them there,   my love,

 And seems to  slightly    pause  upon   her
-Far from her seashell past   and gently
 Down to her mermaid prow    and softly
-Though all need but one wind  to make their
 And board to sail the skies  moonships from
-As each the other meets    will smile and
 With golden flowing hair    and great will
