Words by Robert Hunter

The verse can be played on a standard tuned C diatonic,
however the bridge requires a "country" tuned harmonica, 
i.e. an F# on draw five.

-3 -3 -3    4   -4
If my words did glow

-4   -4  -7-6 -7 6  5
with the gold of sunshine

-4  5  6     -6   6
And my tunes were played

-4 5   6    5 -4
on the harp unstrung

-3    -3  -3   4  -4
would you hear my voice

-4   -7-6 -7  6 5
come thru the music

-7    -7  -7   7  -6
would you hold it near

5  6  6    -6   6
as it were your own


-6 6   -6 6 -6    -5 5 -4
ripple in   still water

5    -5    6  -6 6 -4   5
when there is no pebble tossed

-5  6    5  -4
nor wind to blow
