Harvey Andrews

Biography:

Harvey Andrews (born Harvey John Andrews, May 7, 1943 in Birmingham) is an English singer, songwriter, and poet.

From 1964, Andrews supported his nascent career as a singer/songwriter by working as a schoolteacher, before becoming a full-time professional musician in 1966.

Andrews has produced 15 successful albums singing his own songs, many of which have also been recorded by other artists.

His emotive The Soldier transmits the same quiet desperation of a soldier about to die "in conflict" as Wilfred Owen's Dulce Et Decorum Est

INTRO
******
Am E Am D G

-----------------------
VERSE 1
********
B7 Em
I saw him at my local folk club
C G
With his brand new Martin guitar
B7 Em
Pony-tailed hair and a challenging stare
A7 D
That told me he'd like to go far
B7 Em
He hammered out songs in E Minor
C B7
Broke many a pick and a string
E7 A
Till someone requested a song tried and tested
D A7 D
That everyone else could sing

And he said


-----------------------
CHORUS
*******
G
It's too Daniel O'Donnell
C E
Too Daniel O'Donnell for me
Am
If I sing Daniel O'Donnell
D G
I'll lose credibility

I can sing Garbutt or Bogle
C E
Or songs of the life at sea
Am
But if I sing Daniel O'Donnell
D G
I'll never get paid my fee


-----------------------
VERSE 2
********
B7 Em
For years he did all the floor spots
C G
But hardly a penny he made
B7 Em
He was always out looking for that special booking
A7 D
That told him he'd made the grade
B7 Em
He tried the cittern and bodhrán
C B7
Then he took to the didgeridoo
E7 A
'Till one night playing celtoid, someone, very annoyed, actually said:
N.C.
"Please leave our stage, you're through, your celtoid is:


-----------------------
CHORUS
*******
G
Too Daniel O'Donnell
C E
Too Daniel O'Donnell for me
Am
If you sing Daniel O'Donnell
D G
You'll lose credibility

You can sing Garbutt or Bogle
C E
Or songs of the life at sea
Am
But if you sing Daniel O'Donnell
D G Am E Am D G
You'll never get paid your fee


-----------------------
VERSE 3
********
B7 Em
And then just yesterday evening
C G
At a western night in a bar
B7 Em
With his shiny gelled hair and his new rhinestone glare
A7 D
I saw our old folkie star
B7 Em
He flat-picked his songs in G major
C B7
And introduced each of his band
E7 A
Till someone interested, went up and requested:
D N.C.
"Please, can you sing No Man's Land"

But he said:


-----------------------
CHORUS
*******
G
It's too Garbutt or Bogle
C E
Too Garbutt or Bogle for me
Am
If I sing Garbutt or Bogle
D G
I'll lose credibility

I can sing Daniel O'Donnell
C E
Ever so tunefully
Am
But if I sing Garbutt or Bogle
D G
I'll never get paid my fee
Am
Yes, if I sing Garbutt or Bogle
D G
It could just be the death of me


ENJOY..............
