"For Emily, Wherever I May Find Her"
Simon & Garfunkel
Straight harp.  Original song is in the key of D.
Minus means you draw.  A note in parenthesis means it's optional, but sounds nice.

What a dream I had, dressed in or-gan-dy

Clothed in crin-o-line, of smok-y Bur-gun-dy

-5-5 6    -5 6
As I walk-ed on

(These next two parts follow the same patterns)
And when you ran to me your cheeks flushed with the night
We walked on frosted fields of juniper and lamplight
I held your hand

And when I awoke and felt you warm and near
I kissed your honey hair with my grateful tears

-5-5 6    6    6
Oh I love you, girl

-6  -6 6 -5 6    6
Oh, I------ love you

Something like that.
