  • when and where was this performed?

  • I guess around 1995/6

  • One of my favourite books - Waterlog by Roger Deakin - opens with the lyrics of this song. I hadn't heard the song until now. I can see why he used it!

  • Sure it was. Like you're telling me something I didn't know? Like I said, it's from the film 'The Squid and the Whale'. I don't know why you'd take issue with that statement of fact. Jeeze.

  • @dannygodeep This song was around long before The Squid and the Whale.

  • @jacobpaleschic G D7 Em C D7

    

  • this version is in G jacob, not A

  • @burmashave1 A-E-F#m-D-E-F#m-E-A

  • anyone know the chords?

  • I must say I always thought this was a great song first came accross the McGarrigles do it years ago. Thanks for the memory

  • Also loved the McGarrigles version

  • I also loved the girlish, almost frail-sounding cover version by his then-wife, Kate McGarrigle and her sister Anna on their mid-'70s debut album
