Lullaby Of Spring tab by Donovan

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

	[Guitar Eb]

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 - C/G). For instance, when it's
written Em, play Em/B - Em/E.

The chords are quite simple :
 Em    : 022000
 G     : 320003
 D/F#  : 20023x

 c     : x32010
 C/G   : 3x2010
 B7    : x21202 (or x2120x)
 B7/F# : 3x1202 (or 3x120x)
 Bm    : x24432 (barre II)
 Am    : 002210

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


        Chorus :

	C    C/G   B7      B7/F#
	So begins another spring,
	Em                  Bm
	Green leaves and of berries,
	Am                   Em
	Chiff-chaff eggs are painted by
	B7          B7/F#      Em (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
