Another one of Woolly's songs, this time from the Barclay James Harvest album "Once Again". I only have this song on vinyl and it must be over 20 years since I've heard it. I did this largely to please myself and apart from my voice I was fairly happy with the result.  It is another very simple version, no extended chords I'm afraid Martin, there is a suspended chord in the tron part which is quite sophisticated for me!  I have altered the lyrics in the first verse a little. The backing is just ukulele and mellotron. The strings are redtron and the clarinet is the original M-Tron. I quite like the clarinet part in the second verse.
