I am working on an Al Stewart songbook (for private use only) with lyrics, chords (and tabs for the instrumental tunes) The first three albums are ready, and at this very moment I am working on I'm Falling and Night of the 4th of May. The arrangement will be ready in about two weeks. In the meantime, check out Al Stewart.com for the tabs. It's not what Al played though, it's in D minor instead of E minor, so you will have to transpose the song.
its good to see him sitting down like he used to do when I started seeing him. there was a very good version of this at cousins folk club in london in february 72. francis monkman of curved air played a terry riley style piece and john martyn in white boiler suit looked after the sound system.
Thanks a lot for uploading this. Over the years I've bought everything Al has done but this early song is still one of my favourites. I read that the party in question was one that the late John Martyn held in Putney
Dear God, this is absolutely EPIC!!!!!
Even as a small child I was able to hear to heartache, drama, and even panic in these lyrics.
There are great songwriters, then there are genius songwriters, then there is Al Stewart.
