London Town
(Donovan)
I would suggest a capo on the 1st fret.. sounding key A#
The playing is spiced with hammer-ons on the sus4-chords (C Csus4 C), you can repeat
this figure throughout the song. I’ve tabbed out the main chords.. the C/d-chord is an
approximation but it fits fairly well in the arrangement… Donovan doesn’t pluck his 1st
string except on the Gs at “Green Rocky Road”…
