"The voyage of the Moon", by Donovan
------------------------

Standard tuning, no capo is used for this beautiful song.
G quiet, so relaxing ... Plus, it's really easy to play ;) !

The same piece is repeated all through the song : play it once
entirely for the introduction, then sing with it. Pay attention
to the second part, as you'll have to sing one note differently.

To introduce, play it once, entirely. At the end of each verse, 
you'll have to play again too. Repeat first verse to finish.
As usual, listen to the record to get everything.

 And seems to    slightly       pause    upon     her
-Far from her seashell past     and gently
 Down to her mermaid prow       and softly 
-Though all need but one wind   to make their 
 And board to sail the skies    moonships from

 With golden flowing hair       and great will
