Here's Shilo from Neil Diamond.
It's from my big sister's original Bang Records
single.
 
When I was a little kid, I worshipped Neil Diamond.
My sister bought a ton of albums and singles in the
late late sixties and early seventies,
so this stuff is in my blood.
 
I also want to mention that I think the totally
undefinable Neil Diamond is still great.  Granted,
orchestrated slow ballads make my skin crawl, but he
could/can kick and rock.
 
************************************************
So, here's my formal invitation to Neil Diamond
to come up here to Minneapolis and do
an unplugged or semi-plugged thing at 1st Ave.
(If you need a second guitarist, send me mail).

C
Young child with dreams
 
F                         C
Dream every dream on your own
 
C             F
When children play
 
F                     C
Seems like you end up alone
 
C            F
Papa said he longed to be with you
 
              C
If he had the time
 
C                  F                   G
So you turn to the only friend you can find
 
F                 G             F
    There in your mind
 
CHORUS
/* Finger pick the intro riff as you sing - if you can't, the
   C chords holds up the vocal line                         */
C
Shilo, when I was young
 
I used to call your name
 
When no one else would come
 
Shilo you always came
 
And we'd play
 
 
Verse
 
C
Doubting the years
 
F                    C
Keeping my dreams to myself
 
C                      F
`til a young girl with fire
 
                       C
Made me trust somebody else
 
 
C
Held my hand out
 
F
I let her take me
 
           C
Blind as a child
 
                  F                    G
All I know is the way that she made me smile
 
F                 G         F
        She made smile
 
 
CHORUS

C                  F
Had a dream and it filled me with wonder
 
         C    F      C    G6 (?)    C
She had other plans
 
                      F                        G          F
Got to go, she said I'd know that you'd understand
 
 
G        F
         I understand
 
 
The G6 is trying to mimick the orchestration - give it a try.
