A song called [F#] the Mingulay Boat Song that Barry Marknover knows quite well.
And Baxter said to me [Em] one time, if you're any damn good, he said you'd write a song as good as that.
[E] So a month or so later I came back and I had [B] this one on CD.
I don't think it's as good as the Mingulay Boat Song, but I'll still [G]
try to sing it for you anyway.
Toward the Sunset.
