Incredible String Band
Intro:  G   Am7   F   Bb   (x2)

 G         Am7            F           Bb
Winter was cold and the clothing was thin
 G        Am7          F           Bb
But the gentle shepherd calls the tune
 G    Am7       F           Bb  
Oh dear mother what shall I do
 G                Am7       F         Bb
First please your eyes and then your ears , Jenny
 G          Am7       F         Bb   
Exchanging love tokens say goodnight

     G      
Lay down my dear sister
           C                 G
Won't you lay and take your rest
           G              D
Won't you lay your head upon your saviours breast 
    G       C                           G
And I love you but Jesus loves you the best
                   C                     G
And I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight,
                    C
Lord I bid you goodnight, goodnight,

G 
One of these mornings bright and early and fine.
      C
Goodnight, goodnight
        G
Not a cricket not a spirit going to shout me on
      C
Goodnight, goodnight
      G
I go walking in the valley of the shadow of death
      C
Goodnight, goodnight
         G
And his rod and his staff shall comfort me
      C
Goodnight, goodnight
    G
Oh John the wine he saw the sign
      C
Goodnight, goodnight
    G
Oh John say I seen a number of signs
      C
Goodnight, goodnight
      G
Tell 'A' for the ark that wonderful boat
      C
Goodnight, goodnight
                G
You know they built it on the land getting water to float
      C
Goodnight, goodnight
      G
Tell 'B' for the beast at the ending of the wood
      C
Goodnight, goodnight
             G
You know it eat all the children when they wouldn't be good
      C
Goodnight, goodnight
     G
I remember quite well, I remember quite well
      C
Goodnight, goodnight
       G
I was walking in Jerusalem just like John
      C                  
Goodnight, goodnight, 
      G    Am7    F   Bb
Goodnight    Goodnight
      G    Am7    F   Bb
goodnight    Goodnight
      G    Am7    F   Bb
Goodnight    Goodnight

 G      C    D7/G G   C     G    G7    C
Who   would   lose   and   who would bruise
G       C    D7/G   G     G7   C   
Or who would live quite prettily?
 G             Em                  D       G     D
And who would love... what comes along
D             G               D       G   D  G  D   C
And fill the air with joyous song


 G    C    D7/G G  C   G    G7    C
Who would    go   and who would come
G        C    D7/G  G    G7 C
Or who would   simply   linger
G              Em                D      G   D
And who would hide behind your chair
D               G               D   G  D  G  D  C
And steal your crystallised ginger


Intro:  G   Am7   F   Bb

 G       Am7       F       Bb
Nebulous nearnesses cry to me
G            F           Em          D            
At this timeless moment someone dear to me 
Bb              Eb
wants me near, makes me high
Bb         Eb G#        Eb  
I can hear vibrations fly


  G                G7               C
Through mangoes, pomegranates and planes
G G7     C
All the same
G       Am7     F  Bb
When it reaches me 
G    Am7    F  Bb
and teaches me
    Eb     G
To sigh


Bridge:  G   C   D   G   x6


 G    C    D7/G G   C     G    G7    C
Who would   mouse  and   who  would lion
G        C    D7/G   G    G7 C
Or who would   be   the   tamer
G             Em                D    G  D
And who would hear directions clear
D           G          D   G  D  G  D  G  D  C
From the unnameable namer


 G    C    D7/G G   C     G    G7    C
Who would   skip   and   who would plod
G        C   D7/G  G    G7 C
Or who would lie quite stilly
G              Em                    D     G  D
And who would ride backwards on a giraffe
D           G           D         G  D  G  D  G  D  C
Stopping every so often to laugh



Amoebas are very small

 
G     Am7            D               G  
Oh ah ee oo there's absolutely no strife

living the timeless life

I don't need a wife

living the timeless life
G                      C            D      G
If I need a friend I just give a wriggle
 G           C        D
Split right down the middle
     G     
And when I look there's two of me
     C           D           
Both as handsome as can be
    G
Oh here we go slithering, 
  G                         C        D
here we go slithering and squelching on
    G
Oh here we go slithering, 
  G                         C        D
here we go slithering and squelching on
G     C              D               G
Oh ah ee oo there's absolutely no strife
 C          D        Em
living the timeless life


Intro:  G   Am7   F   Bb

 G          Am7         F          Bb
Black hair brown hair feather and scale
 G         F        Em    D                 Bb
Seed and stamen and all unnamed lives that live


 Eb                   G#           Eb
Turn your quivering nerves in my direction
 Eb                   G#           Eb
Turn your quivering nerves in my direction
 G       Am7  F Bb   
Feel the energy

projection         of my cells
            G
Wishes you well


G  C  D  G   x2
 
 G                 C              D
May the long time sun shine upon you
        G
All love surround you
 G                C    
And the pure light within you
 D                    G
Guide you all the way on
