Heron – Upon Reflection 1970

A very nice song from one of my favorite albums by a mostly unknown band called
“Heron”. Check their stuff out NOW.

Standard Tuning with no capo

I wasn’t sure about this chord since the playing isn’t exactly straight
strumming, if you can find a better chord then let me know.

lying by the lake in august rolling in the leaves

D Fm G A (The A is optional)
down by the waters edge

sitting in your mothers garden smoking lebanese

beneath the privet hedge

A D Fm
and though i thought i caught the warmth behind your smile

i could have been deceived

but with my tear washed eyelashes

i should have been believed

and it would be alright now we have said goodbye

but you didn’t even touch my lips

but you didn’t even try

we walked across the fields of berkshire resting in the hay

and making daisy chains

out along the streams and rivers spread across the way

and swelled with recent rains

D Fm (again, not sure about the D)
stepping home a little sadly

slipping through the trees

much slower than we came

till getting home i kissed you once

and you just spoke my name

and it would be alright now we have said goodbye

but you didn’t even touch my lips

but you didn’t even try
