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)

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

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,

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.
