Lyrics & Chords: Henry's Geographical And Astronomical Mistakes


by Jim Pembroke. Album: Hard'n'Horny (1969)
E                     D
Henry stood upon his mountain in the dawn
           C#m                             G#m
Rubbed his eyes against the sparkle of the sea
          F#m
Which was dancing... (*

Down below lay a valley dressed in frost
That stretched away to the rising on the sun

 B                      A                        E
  But it wouldn't take long for the light to explain
                    D   B
  Or the morning to rise
                    A                      E
  Or the shadows to run or the stars to refrain
                   D
  From leaving the skies
  F#m                B      E
  So he kept his disguise intact

    (fiddle/guitar solo)

   (E)                      D    
      A golden bird laid a dropping on his head
               C#m                            G#m
      And flew away to meet the coming of the day
             F#m                                    E
      In the east where the road around the corner led


*)  In the lyric sheet of the album the line is in the form
"Which was dancing to a symphony of stars"
**) In the lyric sheet of the album the line is in the form 
"In another land that Henry couldn't see at the time"
