Colours

Donovan Leitch

Lesson

[D]Yellow is the colour of my true loves hair
in the [G]morning when we [D]rise
in the [G]morning when we [D]rise
That’s the [A]time thats the [G]time I love the [D]best

[D]Blue is the color of the sky ahay
In the [G]morning, when we [D]rise
In the [G]morning, when we [D]rise
That’s the [A]time, that’s the [G]time
I love the [D]best

[D]Green’s the colour of the sparklin’ corn
in the [G]morning when we [D]rise
in the [G]morning when we [D]rise
That’s the [A]time thats the [G]time I love the [D]best

[D]Mellow is the feelin’ that I get
when I [G]see her Mm [D]hmm
when I [G]see her uh – [D]huh
That’s the [A]time thats the [G]time I love the [D]best

[D]Freedom is a word I rarely use
Without [G]thinkin’ mm – [D]hmm
without [G]thinkin’ mm -[D]hmm
of the [A]time of the [G]time when I’ve been [D]loved [G] [D]

Extra verse (som Donovan sjunger på Pete Seegers tv show 1966)
[D]And Derroll speaks like sunshine, sifting through the leaves
Won’t you [G]listen, while he [D]sings?
Won’t you [G]listen, while he [D]sings?
He sings of [A]diamonds and crimson [G]cloaks
That you can [D]have.
