Little Did I Think

Biography:

Fairport Convention is often credited with being one of the first English folk rock bands. Formed in 1967, Fairport rapidly developed from playing cover versions of American 'west coast' music to an individual style which melded rock music with traditional English folk tunes and songs.

Like their peers The Byrds, Buffalo Springfield and Jefferson Airplane they were blessed with several considerable individual talents and produced music that -at least initially- was eclectic, as well as exploratory.

[Intro]
G F G Am G F G

[Verse]
F G Am
Little did I think when the judge first spoke
G F G
Those awful words to me
F G Am
That I would feel again the cold winds blow
G F G Em
And a heart would beat in 'Babbacombe' Lee

[Verse]
Am C
I was born to lead a life of sorrow
Am Em
Friends hang their heads in shame
G F G Am
Growing tired and weary of the morrow
G F G
Tortured by my terrible name

[Verse]
F G Am
When I was fifteen, my father called to me
G F G
Saying, "Now you are a man and all men work
F G Am
There's a lady and they say her name's Miss Keyes
G F G Em
Her pony's very old, it needs a nurse"

[Verse]
Am C
For eighteen months I worked for her at Hadley Glen
Am Em
She was like a mother to me
Am C
But time goes slowly when you're thinking wishfully
Am G
Of all the other places to be

[Verse]
F G Am
There were boats drifting in the harbour
G F G
There were sailors talking in the town
F G Am
That's the life for a boy who wants to wander
G F G
For a man who doesn't want to settle down
