davidkiddnet Incredible String Band: An Appreciation. (137* d) RE: Incredible String Band: An Appreciation. 24 Mar 04


Hey Banjo Ray, in D do you mean like this?:

OCTOBER SONG by Robin Williamson
D             G    D    G   
I'll sing you this October song
D          A             D
For there is no song before it.
D             G       D         G      
The words and tune are none of my own
D       A                D
For my joys and sorrows bore it.
D             D7    G       D
Beside the sea grows brambly briars
A                  D
In the still of evening.
D          G    D      G   
Birds fly out behind the sun
D       A             D
And with them I'll be leaving.

The fallen leaves that jewel the ground,
They know the art of dying,
And leave with joy their glad gold hearts
In the scarlet shadows lying.

When hunger calls my footsteps home,
And the morning follows after,
I'll swim the seas within my mind
And the pine-trees laugh green laughter.

I used to search for happiness
And I used to follow pleasure,
But I found a door behind my mind,
And that's the greatest treasure.

For rulers like to lay down laws
And rebels like to break them,
The poor priests like to walk in chains
And God likes to forsake them.

I met a man whose name was Time
And he said I must be going,
But just how long that was
I have no way of knowing.

Sometimes I'd like to murder time
Sometimes when my heart's aching,
But mostly I just stroll along
The path that he is taking.
