This song is from the film 'Brother,Son,Sister,Moon'sung by Donovan.Does anyone have any suggestions for the chords please ?It's a beautifull song.

I found a YouTube Video here (click).

Here's part of the lyrics:

Gentle Heart, sing my song, Gentle Heart, glowing. . . .
All my life I have been looking for that which I cannot see. . . .
We give thanks to all you teach us, showing us the true insight.'

Thanks Joe.I purchased this track on ITunes yesterday so i can obtain the words.It's the chords i don't know.The other thing is sometimes the chords given when you purchase the music seem to be a lot different to the actual song, even if you allow for a capo.A good example is the chords you gave me for "Brother Son Sister Moon " in that thread.It's difficult to play the chords given.If you transpose the chords they still seem a long way from the song.As you say in the thread complex chords for what looks like a simple tune. I thought with all the talented people that walk this site someone may have a simple version of the chords that is very close to the song in the film.

If you go to the link that Joe Offer offered, and Capo where Donovan has on his guitar you'll be able to play along with him. It's just G, C, & D.
