Happiness Runs
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.
