As I Recall It Cifras

"As I Recall It" - Donovan
 
A great jazzy track off of Donovan's 1968 record “Hurdy Gurdy Man”,
always loved this song so I thought I’d tab it out! Enjoy! :)
 
 
[Intro]
 
Bbm/C#  F  C# C F
C Dm7 C/E (or notes C D E)
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
F              Am
As I recall it, the sun was high,
Cm7  F7        Bb
Yellow in the blue, blue sky.
Bbm                F        Dm7
You couldn't quite make out this boy,
C#                Gm7  C7
He used life as a toy.
F          Am
In a Marie-Antoinette room
Cm7 F7        Bb
We were introduced soon,
Bbm           F       Dm7
I was me and you were you,
C#         Gm7  C7
How do you do ?
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
F          Am
Raggedy and tousle-haired
Cm7 F7                  Bb
He looked as though he never cared
Bbm                 F          Dm7
To run a comb where a comb should run,
C#                Gm7  C7
Freckles from the sun.
F            Am
Many good times we have had,
Cm7      F7     Bb
We been happy, we been sad,
Bbm              F         Dm7
But I think we both feel glad
C#                Gm7      C7
That this life is so mad, mad, mad.
 
 
[Instrumental]
 
F Am Cm7 F7 Bb
Bbm F Dm7
C# C Dm7 C/E
F Am Cm7 Bb

[Chorus]
 
F              Am
As I recall it, the sun was high,
Cm7    F7         Bb
If I remember it, so was I,
Bbm                 F       Dm7
You couldn't quite make out this boy,
C#            Gm7  C7
He used life as a toy.
F              Am
Many good times we have had,
Cm7              F7   Bb
We been happy, baby, we been sad,
Bbm              F         Dm7
But I think we both feel glad
C#                 Gm7  C7
That this life is so mad.
F              Am
As I recall it, the sun was high,
Cm7 F7         Bb
Yellow in the blue, blue sky,
Bbm                   F       Dm7
You couldn't quite make out this boy,
C#           C     F
He used life as a toy.
