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.

Yellow Star
By Donovan Leitch
From the album Troubadour
(reggae rhythm… )
Verse 1:
E
There have been bad thing done
B
There have been some good one
B
And many people died
E
And many nations cried
E
And many babies came
A G#m
As many died again
F#m
Yet always Man prevailed
A
Yeah though the Devil wailed
E E E E
Verse 2 (same progression)
You know we're way out there
In some galaxy hair
With all this space around
We fight to keep our share.
With all our cruelty
And all our jealousy
We find it hard to give
To just live and let live
To live and let live
Chorus:
A B E A
It's all in the Dance of Life my friend
A B E C#m
It's all in the Song that never ends
A B E C#m
It's all in the Dance of Life my friend
A B E
Following that Yellow Star
Following that Yellow Star
Following that Yellow Star
Following that Yellow Star
Verse 3:
We think that we're so big
The truth we never, never twig
And if some Quasar gonna blow
I guess we'd never, never know
And long before that day
When we are burned away
Let us take time to smile
And swing a little while
Just a little while.
Verse 4:
There have been many, many words
And just as many, many turds
It's all a kind of dream
And not quite what it seems
But when the talking's done
This Life of Death we're gonna shun
And turn our heart to Him (Hailé Sélassié)
Whose Light will never, never dim
