Who Knows Where The Time Goes - Sandy Denny. Acoustic guitar lesson (rhythm only).

Who Knows Where The Time Goes
Sandy Denny / Fairport Convention
Intro E F#m*
E F#m* G#m* F#m*
Across the evening sky, all the birds are leaving
E F#m* G#m* A*
But how can they know, it's time for them to go?
F#m G#m Am/E G#m A*
Before the winter fire, I will still be dreaming
E
I have no thought of time
CHORUS
B* A*
For who knows where the time goes?
E F#m* A* F#m* E
Who knows where the time goes?
Sad, deserted shore, your fickle friends are leaving
Ah, but then you know it's time for them to go
But I will still be here, I have no thought of leaving
I do not count the time
CHORUS
And I am not alone while my love is near me
I know it will be so until it's time to go
So come the storms of winter and then the birds in spring again
I have no fear of time
CHORUS

It's "Something In The Air", " Glad And Sorry", " Debris", "Make It With You", "Indian Prayer" and countless other songs.....in fact, I've got a CD of all the songs that use an amalgamation of the three main chords used here.

[@RhythmShackUK]

Great chord combo. Also used in Early Morning Rain.

[@wired_0402]

This version is spot on, so many crazy interpretations of this beautiful song. Nailed it IMO. THANK YOU!

[@RhythmShackUK]

Thanks very much.

The timing of this lesson was perfect for me. I've known this song for years, but it clicked strongly recently and I felt an urge to learn how to play. Your video helped me a lot, better than any other, cause you focused on the original beautiful Sandy Denny's version. Thank you for your great work! Hope you keep bringing us these gems.

[@RhythmShackUK]

Thank you. Enjoy.

Thank you I love Sandy Denny

[@frankboddy2882]

The opening chords are just like The Allman Brothers Melissa

[@frankboddy2882]

In fact, the overall rhythm and many other chords are too!

[@ClintEastwood-j4q]

Thought the same thing when I heard Eva sing it. Beautiful melody.

[@RW3871]

exactly

[@RhythmShackUK]

Yeah, very similar. Also Debris by the Faces.

Very tidy rendition of this jewel in folk-rocks crown.There's very little tuition for this genre in general i'm finding across UA-cam ? zero Tim&Maddy, (The Gardener,Laird Rosselyn's daughter etc) Zero Tim Hardin (Red Balloon,Song of Freedom,Shiloh Town etc) Pentangle,Lindisfarne as well A whole treasure trove in fact in need of some reviving ? You're clearly the man for the job.

[@RhythmShackUK]

Very kind of you, but I'm afaraid I'm not familiar with much of that. Might take a look though.

[@earlgrey691]

@@RhythmShackUK 'Heydays' album from Tim&Maddy on youtube.Very quirky stuff though but some gems therein.Jerry Guitar thankfully is turning more attentions to folk stuff these days.

[@bentao3352]

[@JeanMorna]

[@PeterPanick]

[@ianmarkrobins]

[@richardwedlich1021]

Thanks for this. Nice sounding guitar. Is it an old Yamaha?

[@RhythmShackUK]

How very dare you.. 😏 It's a vintage Martin J1. Very rare. You're very welcome.
