Thanks for putting me right to the correct writer (sorry Harvey), at least I nearly got the words correct. The song has stayed with me for 25 years and although I played a bit of guitar then, it is only in the past 4 years I've taken it up more seriously. It was for this reason I wanted more info on the song. It's testement to the song that a fraction of it survived in my mind for this long and pushed me in to finding out more.
I'd be grateful if any one had the lyrics or knew if they have been published, even better if it came with chords.
I'll keep a look out for the LP/CD and many thanks to all that replied.
