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.

Goldwatch Blues – Donovan
Capo 4th fret
Am C C* Am
I went up for my interview on the fourth day of July.
Am C C* Am
Personnel man he questioned me until I nearly cried,
Am C C* Am
He made me fill in forms until I shook with fear
Am C C* Am
About the colour of my toilet roll and if my cousin's queer.
CHROUS:
Am C C* Am
Here's your goldwatch and the shackles for your chain
Am C C* Am
And your piece of paper to say you left here sane.
Am C C* Am
And if you've a son who wants a good career
Am (only one downstroke) C Em Am
Just get him to sign on the dotted line and work for fifty years.
He asked me how many jobs I'd had before.
He nearly had a heart attack when I answered, four.
Four jobs in twenty years, oh, this can never be
We only take on men who work until they die.
CHORUS
He took me outside to where the gravestones stand in line.
This is where we bury them in quick-stone and in lime
And if you come to work for us on this you must agree,
That if you're going to die please do it during tea-break
CHORUS
This story that you heard you may think rather queer
But it is the truth you'll be surprised to hear.
I did not want no job upon the board,
I just wanted to take a broom and sweep the bloody floor.
CHORUS
am = hammer your middle finger on the string now and then
C* = 020010 or Em
