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. | |
