Am C
Wasn't there a dream, last night
G Am
Like a spring never ending
C
Still the water runs clear through my mind
G Am
On the field I can see a fiddler
C
The fiddler on the green
G Am
And a saaaad boy
C
I took him too early
G
Would you mind
F
Would you mind
G
Would you mind
If I take you

Play Riff 1 solo rhythm
Solo 1 (distortion)
Note: The notes here fade into each other, so listen when to change
From note to note. These are the main notes, there may be other
Notes in the transistions, but they're too faded for me to hear.
