              Donovan
Patrick the Poet figured out these chords

To play in same key as on Barabajagal,
        Capo at the first fret

C               C/B 
Little pebble upon the sand,
Am                       Am/G 
  Now you're lying here, in my hand,
Am/F#      Am/F                G
  How many years have you been here?
C                 C/B
Little human upon the sand,
Am                           Am/G
  From where I'm lying, here in your hand,
Am/F#    Am/F                 G
  You to me are but a passing breeze.

    C                Am
The sun will always, shine where you stand,
C         Am             Em
Depending in which land, you may find yourself.
C               Am                G
Now you have my blessing, go your way.
