I'll Try for the Sun
Donovan Leitch / Donovan: Fairytale (1965)
| G | G/D | G/C | G | D |
| We | stood in the | win- | dy | city, |
| C | D | G |
The | gypsy | boy and | I. |
| G | G/D | G/C | G | D |
| We | slept on the | breeze | in the | midnight |
| C | D | G |
With | rain droppin' | tears in our | eyes. |
| C | D | G |
And | who's going to | be the | one, |
| C | D | G |
To | say it was no | good what we | done? |
| C | D | G |
I | dare a man to | say I'm too | young, |
| C | D | G |
For | I'm going to | try for the | sun. |
We huddled in a derelict building, | |
And when he thought I was asleep, | |
He laid his poor coat round my shoulder, | |
And shivered there beside me in a heap. | |
And who's going to be the one, | |
To say it was no good what we done? | |
I dare a man to say I'm too young, | |
For I'm going to try for the sun. | |
We sang and cracked the sky with laughter, | |
Our breath turned to mist in the cold. | |
Our years put together count to thirty, | |
But our eyes told the dawn we were old. | |
And who's going to be the one, | |
To say it was no good what we done? | |
I dare a man to say I'm too young, | |
For I'm going to try for the sun. | |
Mirror, mirror, hanging in the sky, | |
Won't you look down what's happening here below? | |
I stand here singing to the flowers, | |
So very few people really know. | |
And who's going to be the one, | |
To say it was no good what we done? | |
I dare a man to say I'm too young, | |
For I'm going to try for the sun. | |
We stood in the windy city, | |
We slept on the breeze in the midnight | |
With the rain droppin' tears in our eyes. | |
And who's going to be the one, | |
To say it was no good what we done? | |
I dare a man to say I'm too young, | |
For I'm going to try for the sun. | |
