Sunny Goodge Street
Donovan
(as covered by Judy Collins
 on her "In My Life" alblum)

Transcription and any errors by [email protected]

Donovan's version of this song doesn't really
have a guitar in it, it's basically a jazz
backup led by a cello. Judy Collins' version
doesn't have a guitar either, but the piano
accompanyment can be approximated on guitar.

It's interesting how Donovan's version is dark,
moody and depressing, while Collins' is bright
and upbeat. I like both.

       ++++++
C      x32010
C/B    x20010
Am     x02210
Am/G   302210 (I use my little finger for the G)
F      133211 (I play as a full barre, and then
F/E    033211  lift the tip of my index finger for the E)
G      320003
Dm     x00231

You can either flatpick or fingerpick the chords.
The idea is to follow the bass run from measure to
measure. Here is how I fingerpick the opening/ending
run of the song to give the same feel as the piano:

    C      C/B    Am     Am/G
e-|-0------0------0------0-------|
B-|---1------1------1------1-----|
G-|-----0------0------2------2---|
D-|------------------------------|
A-|-3------2------0--------------|
E-|----------------------3-------|


I use the following picking pattern:

--2-------2-------
----1-------1-----
------T-------T---
------------------
--T-------T-------


Opening run:
C  C/B  Am  Am/G, repeat several times

       C       C/B         Am    Am/G
On the firefly platform on sunny Goodge Street
F            F/E            Am        Am/G
Violent hash-smoker shook a chocolate machine
   F           F/E        Am   G  Dm  G
Involved in an eating scene.

C             C/B  Am              Am/G
Smashing into neon lights in their stillness
F              F/E         Am         Am/G
Smearing their eyes on the crazy Kali goddess
F            F/E       C      C/B       Am  Am/G
Listenin' to sounds of Mingus mellow fantastic.

 F   F/E       Am  Am/G
"My, my", they sigh,
 F   F/E       Am  G  Dm  G
"My, my", they sigh.

Am   G   Am   G   Dm   G   C
A la etc.

In dull house rooms with coloured lights swingin'
Strange music boxes sadly tinklin'
Drink in the sun shining all around you.

"My, my", they sigh,
"My, my", they sigh.

A la etc.

The magician, he sparkles in satin and velvet,
You gaze at his splendour with eyes you've not used yet.
I tell you his name is Love, Love, Love.

"My, my", they sigh,
"My, my", they sigh.

A la etc.
