His early work, which echoed gypsy jazz and traditional folk, has led into his current sound, which mixes rock with more broad compositions. His years of solo song-craft have now enabled him to produce a sound that is uniquely his own.

The bells will ring, church steeple's catching fire
G D G
And if you promise spring then I know you are a liar
C G
Cause in the spring, tender grasses won't burn easily
C G D
The thrushes sing, still my lover won't return to me
Em D G
Wild parsnips they still scar my lungs, while thistles will burn my feet
D G D G
And if you join our chorus, you'll never fear anymore
D G D G
So here comes the chorus, we will meet on a fatal shore
G C Em D

Souverian, souverian, the elder

Souverian, souverian, the free

Souverian, souverian, the felled heart

So very young, so very young were we

Birds will sing, still my lover won't return to me

G…(for this section, I finger pick the bottom three strings,
playing eight counts and then the bottom string open for eight counts, alternating.
Feel free to find your own method!)
Under the elders, the older get younger
The younger get over, over their elders
And under the elders, pretend that you're older now
Under the elders, the older get younger
The younger get over, over the elders
Under the elders, bending your branches down
C G
We were so very young, still my lover won't return to me
C G D
Thrushes sing, still my lover won't return to me

Wild parsnips they still scar my lungs, while thistles still burn my feet
The bells will ring, church steeple's catching fire
