Myfanwy
Former BBC Radio 1 DJ Mike Read wrote a lovely chord structure and melody to a
poem by Sir John Benjamin and then it was recorded by David Essex.
The single entered the UK charts in 1987 and stayed there for 7 weeks.
The song is played in 3/4 time
Intro
D Dmaj7 D x2
D A G A G D
D A G D G A G D
D Dmaj7
Kind o'er the kinderbank leans my Myfanwy
D Dmaj7 A
White o'er the playpen the sheen of her dress
G A D Bm
Fresh from the bathroom and soft in the nursery
D Bm G A
Soap scented fingers I long to caress
D Dmaj7
Were you a prefect and head of your dormitory
D Dmaj7 A
Were you a hockey girl tennis or gym
G A D Bm
Who was your favourite who had a crush on you
D Bm A D
Which were the baths where they taught you to swim
D Dmaj7
Smooth down the Avenue glitters the bicycle
D Dmaj7 A
Black stockinged legs under navy blue serge
G A D Bm
Home and Colonial star International
D Bm G A
Balancing bicycle leant on the verge
D Dmaj7
Trace me your wheel tracks you fortunate bicycle
D Dmaj7 A
Out of the shopping and into the dark
G A D Bm
Back down the avenue back to the potting shed
D Bm A D
Back to the house on the fringe of the park
D Dmaj7
Golden the light on the locks of Myfanwy
D Dmaj7 A
Golden the light on the book on her knee
G A D Bm
Finger marked pages of Rackham's Hans Anderson
D Bm G A
Time for the children to come down to tea
D Dmaj7
Oh Fullers angel cake Robertson's marmalade
D Dmaj7 A
Liberty lampshade come shine on us all
G A D Bm
My what a spread for the friends of Myfanwy
D Bm A D
Some in the alcove and some in the hall
D Dmaj7
Then what sardines in half lighted passages
D Dmaj7 A
Locking of fingers in long hide and seek
G A D Bm
You will protect me my silken Myfanwy
D Bm A D
Ring leader tomboy and chum to the weak
