Biography:
Bill Fay is a singer-songwriter and pianist from London.
Fay began writing songs in the early 1960s while attending university and in 1966 cut a demo using a mobile studio belonging to a man named John Boden. Impressed by the demo, ex-Them drummer Terry Noon helped Bill to sign a recording contract with Decca. In 1967 the label released the single "Some Good Advice"/"Screams in the Ears", produced by early Donovan co-manager Peter Eden. The single "introduced [Fay's] characteristic downbeat melodies and scrambled impressionistic lyrics"

[Verse 1]
C#7 A#m
I'm planting myself in the garden
G# C#
Believe me
C#7 A#m
Between the potatoes and parsley

Believe me
A#m A#m/F F# G#
And I'll wait for the rain to a - noint me
A#m A#m/F F# G#
And the frost to awaken my soul

With a greenfly, spider or maggot

Believe me
