Donovan - This Lovely Day Chords & Tabs

This lovely day

By Donovan

From the soundtrack from the motion picture “Brother Sun Sister Moon” (It was just 
for download on I-Tunes. Check it out if you are a Donovan fan)
Tabbed by Matthew C. (moc0007@gmail.com)

This Song uses a specific picking/finger-picking pattern. Try to use bass strings as 
as the high ones. And hammer-ons are your friend just the same as his other acoustic songs.
