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 on the good old TV, la-la-la-la

’Twas there I saw her fair continence
I cannot hurl off this station

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
