Version 1 
            Fairport Convention
Fotheringay (What we did on our holidays 1968)
by Marcel Veltman

Not that accurate to allow you to play with the recording, but I think these chords suit the song nicely.

[Intro]
Am, Dm, Em, Am (2x)

[Verse]
Am                 C              F              C
How often she has gazed from het castle windows all
     G                   Am
And watched the daylight passing
Em                  Am
Within her captive walls
        Dm      Em       Am
With no one to heed her calls

Am                 C              F              C
The evening hour is fading with the dwindling sun
     G                   Am
And in these lonely moments
Em                  Am
Those embers will be gone
        Dm      Em       Am
And the last of all the young birds flown

Am                 C              F              C
Her days of precious freedom forfeited long before
     G                   Am
To live those fruitless years
Em                  Am
Behind a guarded door
        Dm      Em       Am
But those days last no more

[Interlude]
Am Dm G C F Dm Em Am (2x)

Am                C        F           C
Tommorow at this hour she will be far away
      G                 Am
Much further than these islands
         G      Am
For the lonely fotheringay

[Outro]
Am Dm Em Am (2x)
