NEVER AGAIN Richard Thompson (Capo 3rd fret to play with "Hokey Pokey" recording) I'd really like detailed tab, if anyone has the patience. This may well be played with an alternate tuning (low D???) I sometimes play this using the alternate chords shown in parantheses.

The time for dividing and no one will speak Of the sadness of hiding and the softness of sleep Oh, will there prove nothing of peace till the end? Oh, never, oh, never, oh, never again
Old man, how you tarry, old man, how you weep The trinkets you carry and the garlands you keep For the salt tears of lovers and the whispers of friends Oh, never, oh, never, oh, never again
