Biography:
Beginning his musical career in the 1960's, Michael Yonkers is most well known as an early purveyor of the musical style called "skronk-rock". Skronk-rock is a nearly atonal form, but the genre is given grace through Yonkers' subtle manipulations of the sonic palette.
1969's Microminiature Love (1969 - Destijl, 2002 - Subpop, 2003), the culmination of his artistic peak, ran the gamut of the era's styles, from Jefferson Airplane-ish acid-rock (Jasontown) to voodoo-blues (Boy In The Sandbox, Smile Awhile).

Two songs on one track the first track off of Michael Yonkers's second album

The first one is a short little one. These are beautiful songs and I'm glad

I wish I knew a damsel fair
Am G D Am
that I could have for me
C G F Am
and I request that when I die

you throw me to the sea

I was told that an angel came
A Dbm G
the night of your birthday
Bm G Bm
And took your pain
Abm Dbm G Bm
And I was told to talk to you
A Dbm
and ask you vaguely
G Bm
how did he look
A Dbm Abm D
Did your angel have sea blue eyes
A Dbm G D
Did your angel bring sunny skies
A Dbm G D
did your angel have a long white gown
did your angel know a girl in town
G Bbm A Dbm
that he would see when he left your place
G Bm D
did she have a lonely face
A Dbm G Bm
does your angel have night blue eyes
does your angel bring rainy skies
does your angel wear a long black robe
is your angel the only one
A Dbm Ab G D
to blame if you are not his friend
you once said that you'd love him
till the end
A Dbm G D
and the end has not yet started yet
so take your angel
and be his friend
and if you reach him
then you can tell me how he looks
then you can tell me how he looks
I came to ask vaguely how he looks
then you can tell me how he looks
I came to ask you how he looks
then you can tell me how he looks
then you can tell me how he looks
how'd he look
how he looks
