I'll Try for the Sun
Donovan Leitch / Donovan: Fairytale (1965)
G | G/D | G/C | G | D | |
We | stood in the | win- | dy | city, |
C | D | G | |
The | gypsy | boy and | I. |
G | G/D | G/C | G | D | |
We | slept on the | breeze | in the | midnight |
C | D | G | |
With | rain droppin' | tears in our | eyes. |
C | D | G | |
And | who's going to | be the | one, |
C | D | G | |
To | say it was no | good what we | done? |
C | D | G | |
I | dare a man to | say I'm too | young, |
C | D | G | |
For | I'm going to | try for the | sun. |
We huddled in a derelict building, |
And when he thought I was asleep, |
He laid his poor coat round my shoulder, |
And shivered there beside me in a heap. |
And who's going to be the one, |
To say it was no good what we done? |
I dare a man to say I'm too young, |
For I'm going to try for the sun. |
We sang and cracked the sky with laughter, |
Our breath turned to mist in the cold. |
Our years put together count to thirty, |
But our eyes told the dawn we were old. |
And who's going to be the one, |
To say it was no good what we done? |
I dare a man to say I'm too young, |
For I'm going to try for the sun. |

Mirror, mirror, hanging in the sky, |
Won't you look down what's happening here below? |
I stand here singing to the flowers, |
So very few people really know. |
And who's going to be the one, |
To say it was no good what we done? |
I dare a man to say I'm too young, |
For I'm going to try for the sun. |
We stood in the windy city, |
The gypsy boy and I. |
We slept on the breeze in the midnight |
With the rain droppin' tears in our eyes. |
And who's going to be the one, |
To say it was no good what we done? |
I dare a man to say I'm too young, |
For I'm going to try for the sun. |
