DONKEY RIDES, A PENNY, A GLASS
(Marriott, Laine)

B-side to 'The Universal' (Immediate, 1968)

I think the chords are right, the only bit of tab I could work out
is the intro, the rest is too buried in the mix or impossible (like the guitar solo)

Chords used:

Acoustic guitar (left speaker)

A: x02220 F#m: 244222
C: 332010 G: 320033
D: xx0232 F: 133211
E: 022100
C#m: x46654

The tab for intro and chorus is:

A C D E
-----------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------
-------------7\5--5--5--5/7--7--7--5--7/(8)/9--9--9--
--5/7--7--7--7\5--5--5--5/7--7--7--5--7/(8)/9--9--9--
--5/7--7--7--5\3--3--3--3/5--5--5--3--5/(6)/7--7--7--

A C D E (x2)

A C#m D F#m G A
I like wasting my days in a caravan,
A C#m D F#m G A
I like my Uncle Joe what a lovely man,

A C
Well, I love things, I do my best,
D E
I eat, sleep and laugh and cry just like the rest,
A C
What becomes of me, is meant to be,
D E
So I'll just move along quite naturally.

A D
Summers here and I'll be idling my time away,
A D
Looking for someone to tell me the time of day,
C G F C G
Any make your wish could true come.
F (F F# G G#)
Unexpected attacks on your nose,
A
Can be treated by touching your toes,
D C G D
Donkey rides, a penny, a glass.

D
(guitar solo)

C G

A C#m D F#m G A
Snowflakes falling like leaves in the summertime,
A C#m D F#m G A
Fishcakes, cabbage and mash, oh, the world is mine,

A C
I love things, I do my best,
D E
I eat, sleep and laugh and cry just like rest,
A C
What becomes of me, is meant to be,
D E
So I'll just move along quite naturally, yes.

A C
I love things, I do my best,
D E
I eat, sleep and laugh and cry just like rest,
A C
What becomes of me, is meant to be,
D E
So I'll just move along quite naturally.

A C
I love things, I do my best,
D E
I eat, sleep and laugh and cry just like the rest,
A C
What becomes of me, is meant to be,
D E
So I'll just move along quite naturally.

(The song fades out on the third line of the last chorus).
