  Here's Shilo from Neil Diamond.

  It's from my big sister's original Bang Records

  single.

  

  When I was a little kid, I worshipped Neil Diamond.

  My sister bought a ton of albums and singles in the

  late late sixties and early seventies, 

  so this stuff is in my blood.

  

  I also want to mention that I think the totally

  undefinable Neil Diamond is still great.  Granted,

  orchestrated slow ballads make my skin crawl, but he

  could/can kick and rock.

  

  ************************************************

  So, here's my formal invitation to Neil Diamond

  to come up here to Minneapolis and do 

  an unplugged or semi-plugged thing at 1st Ave.  

  (If you need a second guitarist, send me mail).

  C

  Young child with dreams

  

  F                         C

  Dream every dream on your own

  

  C             F

  When children play

  

  F                     C

  Seems like you end up alone

  

  C            F

  Papa said he longed to be with you

  

                C

  If he had the time

  

  C                  F                   G

  So you turn to the only friend you can find

  

  F                 G             F

      There in your mind

  

  CHORUS

  /* Finger pick the intro riff as you sing - if you can't, the

     C chords holds up the vocal line                         */

  C

  Shilo, when I was young

  

  I used to call your name

  

  When no one else would come

  

  Shilo you always came

  

  And we'd play

  

  

  Verse

  Keeping my dreams to myself

  

  C                      F

  `til a young girl with fire

  

                         C

  Made me trust somebody else

  

  

  C 

  Held my hand out 

  

  F

  I let her take me

  

             C

  Blind as a child

  

                    F                    G

  All I know is the way that she made me smile

  

  F                 G         F

          She made smile

  C                  F 

  Had a dream and it filled me with wonder 

  

           C    F      C    G6 (?)    C

  She had other plans

  

                        F                        G          F

  Got to go, she said I'd know that you'd understand

  

  

  G        F

           I understand

  

  

  The G6 is trying to mimick the orchestration - give it a try.
