Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
It's a fairly complex song on harp, so here's a nice and easy baby version for Guitar in C!
C
I slept all day
Asus2 Am
awoke with distaste
C
and I railed,
Asus2 Am
and I raved
F
That the difference between
D7
the sprout and the bean
F
is a golden ring,
D
it is a twisted string.
F
And you can ask the counsellor;
D7
you can ask the king;
F
and they'll say the same thing;
D
and it's a funny thing:
F
Should we go outside?
D
Should we go outside?
F
Should we break some bread?
D
Are y'interested?
C
And as I said,
Asus2 Am
I slept as though dead
C
dreaming seamless dreams
Asus2 Am
of lead.
F
When you go away,
D7
I am big-boned and fey
F
in the dust of the day,
D
in the dirt of the day.
F
and Danger! Danger! Drawing near them was a white coat,
D7
and Danger! Danger! drawing near them was a broad boat,
F
And the water! water! running clear beneath a white throat,
D
and the hollow chatter of the talking of the Tadpoles,
F
who know th'outside!
D7
Should we go outside?
F
Should we break some bread?
D
Are y'interested?
