Donovan

As I Recall It

by Donovan
Donovan

Biography:

Donovan Philips Leitch (born May 10, 1946 in Maryhill, Glasgow), better known as simply Donovan, is a Scottish singer, songwriter, and musician. Originally a '60s folk singer, as the decade progressed Donovan cultivated his own unique eclectic sound, mixing elements of folk, pop, jazz, world music and more, often with a twinge of psychedelia. His most well-known work was suffused with altruistic political overtones, making him an iconic figure of the "flower power" counter-culture of the '60s.

"As I Recall It" - Donovan

A great jazzy track off of Donovan's 1968 record “Hurdy Gurdy Man”,
always loved this song so I thought I’d tab it out! Enjoy! :)


[Intro]

Bbm/C# F C# C F
C Dm7 C/E (or notes C D E)


[Verse 1]

F Am
As I recall it, the sun was high,
Cm7 F7 Bb
Yellow in the blue, blue sky.
Bbm F Dm7
You couldn't quite make out this boy,
C# Gm7 C7
He used life as a toy.
F Am
In a Marie-Antoinette room
Cm7 F7 Bb
We were introduced soon,
Bbm F Dm7
I was me and you were you,
C# Gm7 C7
How do you do ?


[Verse 2]

F Am
Raggedy and tousle-haired
Cm7 F7 Bb
He looked as though he never cared
Bbm F Dm7
To run a comb where a comb should run,
C# Gm7 C7
Freckles from the sun.
F Am
Many good times we have had,
Cm7 F7 Bb
We been happy, we been sad,
Bbm F Dm7
But I think we both feel glad
C# Gm7 C7
That this life is so mad, mad, mad.


[Instrumental]

F Am Cm7 F7 Bb
Bbm F Dm7
C# C Dm7 C/E
F Am Cm7 Bb
Bbm F Dm7
C# C F


[Chorus]

F Am
As I recall it, the sun was high,
Cm7 F7 Bb
If I remember it, so was I,
Bbm F Dm7
You couldn't quite make out this boy,
C# Gm7 C7
He used life as a toy.
F Am
Many good times we have had,
Cm7 F7 Bb
We been happy, baby, we been sad,
Bbm F Dm7
But I think we both feel glad
C# Gm7 C7
That this life is so mad.
F Am
As I recall it, the sun was high,
Cm7 F7 Bb
Yellow in the blue, blue sky,
Bbm F Dm7
You couldn't quite make out this boy,
C# C F
He used life as a toy.


[Drum Break]
