Chords for Justin Hayward - "Dawning Is The Day" (Live)

_ Welcome to my Tuesday afternoon video series.
Each week I share a live performance from my nights tour with all of you.
_ [C] _
_ [C] _ Mike Pinder and Ray Thomas for a while shared a lovely house to the southwest of London.
And I would spend a lot of time there.
I remember playing sitar with Mike who had a tambour, which is the resonant kind of version of the sitar.
[Gb] And Mike was a lovely guitar player as well.
And so we would enjoy just playing together, just messing around and Ray on the flute as well.
As usual, we stayed up all night.
And then as the dawn was breaking, Mike decided he was going to record the dawn chorus in his garden of all of the birds slowly coming to giving their beautiful song.
And it got tremendous.
It was a whole orchestra of songbird.
And I hope he still got the recording. _
I went out that day and I walked through some water meadows that were near that house.
And I just took a 10 minute, 15 minute break to walk through these water meadows.
[G] And then I came back in my car to go back to my flat.
And then I started writing this song.
It's just sort of in my mind.
_ And this is another one of those songs that I used to do quite a lot where I put two songs together somehow that just seemed to work.
But maybe there are different subjects.
_ And the other part of the song references a book by Jerry Rubin called Do It.
It's hard to tell now how influential this book was in the 1960s, but I'm sure his family know.
And it was absolutely brilliant.
And this song is called Dawning is the Day.
