David Essex es un reconocido artista en su nativa Inglaterra, gracias a sus trabajos como músico, lider de banda, productor y actor. Dio sus primeros pasos en el mundo de la fama participando en el musical "Godspell", y el film "That'll Be the Day" (1974), en el que pudo exponerse ante los americanos como el más "prometedor newcomer inglés". A esto le siguieron éxitos con canciones pop como "Rock On" y "Stardust", grabando numerosos singles y álbumes que vendieron millones de copias.
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
Former BBC Radio 1 DJ Mike Read wrote a lovely chord structure and melody to a poem by Sir John Benjamin and then it was recorded by David Essex. The single entered the UK charts in 1987 and stayed there for 7 weeks.

[Intro] DDmaj7D x2 DAGAGD DAGDGAGD
[Verse 1] DDmaj7 Kind o'er the kinderbank leans my Myfanwy DDmaj7A White o'er the playpen the sheen of her dress GADBm Fresh from the bathroom and soft in the nursery DBmGA Soap scented fingers I long to caress
[Verse 2] DDmaj7 Were you a prefect and head of your dormitory DDmaj7A Were you a hockey girl tennis or gym GADBm Who was your favourite who had a crush on you DBmAD Which were the baths where they taught you to swim
[Verse 3] DDmaj7 Smooth down the Avenue glitters the bicycle DDmaj7A Black stockinged legs under navy blue serge GADBm Home and Colonial star International DBmGA Balancing bicycle leant on the verge
[Verse 4] DDmaj7 Trace me your wheel tracks you fortunate bicycle DDmaj7A Out of the shopping and into the dark GADBm Back down the avenue back to the potting shed DBmAD Back to the house on the fringe of the park
[Verse 5] DDmaj7 Golden the light on the locks of Myfanwy DDmaj7A Golden the light on the book on her knee GADBm Finger marked pages of Rackham's Hans Anderson DBmGA Time for the children to come down to tea
[Verse 6] DDmaj7 Oh Fullers angel cake Robertson's marmalade DDmaj7A Liberty lampshade come shine on us all GADBm My what a spread for the friends of Myfanwy DBmAD Some in the alcove and some in the hall
[Verse 7] DDmaj7 Then what sardines in half lighted passages DDmaj7A Locking of fingers in long hide and seek GADBm You will protect me my silken Myfanwy DBmAD Ring leader tomboy and chum to the weak
