Donovan - Lovely Princess (capo 2)
This is a beautiful song. I don't know why it's not included in any albums.
It's featured in the Donovan In Concert DVD. The chords are fairly simple, but it has a few
flourishes and arrangements that take a few tries to get just right.

There in her Dresden bath chamber

Spacious mirror, yellow gold

I often dream of disrobing

F G C (/B)
Will her hand ever grace my own?
Am F
I’m in love with a princess
C G C (+G on the first string)
Ooh, lovely Princess Anne
There on the good old TV, la-la-la-la
In a domestic situation
’Twas there I saw her fair continence
I cannot hurl off this station
Love comes not only to a princess
All are blessed or cursed with the shaft
I’m in love with a princess
Ooh, lovely Princess Anne (+G - (G), A, B, C single notes)
C G Am
There in the grand dining hall
F G
She looked so innocent and wise
C G Am
With a foam-like softness
F G
In a misty dream within her eyes
I’m in love with a princess
Her hand will never grace my own
I’m in love with a princess
Ooh, lovely Princess Anne (+G - G, A, B, C single notes)
And late at night upon silk pillows
She wanders through her peasant dreams
Once kissed princes changed to froggies
The fairy tale reversed it seems
F G C
But I’m in love with a princess
F G C G Am
Will her hand ever grace my own? La-la-de-la-la
(Am) F
I’m in love with a princess
C G C (stop strumming)
Ooh, lovely princess Anne
G Am
(Am) G F
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ohh
C G C
Ooh, lovely princess Anne
