Tom Tiddlers Ground, by Roy Harper.
This is my version of this song. I have borrowed heavily from the transcription by Gordon Walker <scogpw@thor.cf.ac.uk>. The main difference is that my versionis in DADGBD, with both Es dropped to a D. Its much easier to play this way I think.
I thought you had passed, but you caught me at last, D/G D* C/D D Where you know I could never be worn. D/C D/B D, Dsus2+4, D And now that you're here, and you finally hear, D/G D* C/D D It's so clear on the wings of the dawn. D/C D/B D, Dsus2+4, D Where your smile starts to shine, as you breath in the brine D/G D* C/D D Of the spray on the very same day. D/C D/B D, Dsus2+4, D The same day we all go, when we're sure that we know, D/G D* C/D D What it is to be floating away. D/C D/B D, Dsus2+4, D And there's a lovenest, on Tom Tiddler's Ground A D And there's a lovenest, on Tom Tiddler's Ground A D And there's a lovenest, on Tom Tiddler's Ground A D Long before Eden, was lost and found. G D D/B D/Bb D,Dsus2+4,D
The chords then become

In this case (4) denotes an optional note. The only other difference in the way that I play it, is the walk down the bass strings at the end of the chorus used D sus2 (which is the same shape as Gordon has his Dsus4+2) and then I start the walk from the E (4th string 2nd fret) rather than the C that Gordon has.
Right thats its.
