Subject: RE: Tune Req: dinks song
Don't recall where I learned Dink's Song, but it was from some popular 12 string player. Chord progression throughout is C, Em, Am, G. For example:

where / / = One Measure 3/4 Time

  C/Em/Am

/G /C/Em/Am
If I had wings,

/G /C/Em/Am
Like Noah's dove.

/G /C/Em/Am
I'd fly up the river,

/G /C/Em/Am/G
To the one I love.

/C /Em /Am
Fare thee well,

/G/C/Em/Am
oh honey,

/G /C/Em/Am
Fare thee well.


My memory says it was Bob Gibson. Whoever it was, they would eventually speed the song up to 6/8 time and then keep the guitar going and stretch the lyrics back to 3/4. 'Twas very powerful to my young listening ears.

Preformat commands <pre> (beginning) and </pre> (end) added to space chords. Does that fix it, O long-lost Roger?
