Davy Tab

by Carly Simon




Davy by Carly Simon
from the album "Letters Never Sent"

Carly Simon: Acoustic Guitar and Vocals
Andreas Vollenweider: Electric Harp
Walter Keiser: Drums

I can't believe there are no Carly Simon songs in the OLGA !
Well, here's a pretty little tune from "Letters Never Sent".
I first heard her perform it on the "Live from Grand Central"
TV special and really liked it.

I play this by fingerpicking with a capo on first fret. I'm not
sure why it's played in Eb. Maybe it has something to do with the
tuning of the electric harp.
