Chords for Neil Diamond - Shilo live 1967

Neil Diamond has had seven hits this year and the great thing about the songs that Neil writes
is that we can all relate to them.
In this song he [C] recalls his childhood loneliness and an imaginary
boy named Shiloh who was his only friend.
Neil Diamond [G] and Shiloh.
[C] _
_ _ _ Young child with dreams, _ _ [F] dream [A] every dream [C] on your own. _
_ When children [Dm] play, [D] _ _
seems [G] like you end [C] up alone. _ _
Papa [F] says he'd love to be with [C] you if he [F] had the [C] time.
So you turn to [F] the only friend you [C] can find.
[G] There [C] in your mind.
[Gm] _ _ [C] Shiloh when I was young, I used to call your name.
When no one else would come, _ Shiloh you always came.
And we'd play. _ _
Numbly girl with fire, _ _ [F] something said she [C] understood.
_ _ _ I wanted [Dm] to fly, _ she made me feel [C] like I could.
_ _ Held my [F] hand out and I'd take [C] me, blind as a child.
All I saw [F] was the way that she made [C] me smile.
_ [G] She [C] made me smile. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ Had a dream [F] and it filled me with wonder.
[C] She had other plans.
I got to go but [F] I know that [G] you'll understand.
_ I [C] understand.
[Gm] _
[C] Shiloh when I was young, I used to call your name.
