 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
 
 C
 Doubting the years
 
 F                    C
 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
 
 
 CHORUS
 
 C
 Shilo when I was young ..

 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.
