Fairport Convention
Fotheringay (What we did on our holidays 1968)
by Marcel Veltman

Not that accurate to allow you to play with the recording, but I think these chords suit the song nicely.

Intro: Am, Dm, Em, Am (2x)

Am (x02210@1)               C (x32010@1)            F (133211@1)            CHow (x32010@1)often she has gazed from het castle windows all
     G (320003@1)                 AmAnd (x02210@1)watched the daylight passing
Em (022000@1)                AmWithin (x02210@1)her captive walls
        Dm (xx0231@1)    Em (022000@1)     AmWith (x02210@1)no one to heed her calls

The evening hour is fading with the dwindling sun
And in these lonely moments
Those embers will be gone
And the last of all the young birds flown

Her days of precious freedom forfeited long before
To live those fruitless years
Behind a guarded door
But those days last no more

Instrumental break Am Dm G C F Dm Em Am (2x)

Am (x02210@1)              C (x32010@1)      F (133211@1)         CTommorow (x32010@1)at this hour she will be far away
      G (320003@1)               AmMuch (x02210@1)further than these islands
         G (320003@1)    AmFor (x02210@1)the lonely fotheringay

Outro Am Dm Em Am (2x)
