Tuning: EBDGAD, low to high.  Guinnevere is a real tricky song.  It has
wierd, ambiguous chords, several time signature changes, and some odd
fingerpicking.  Worse, the "feel" of this song is really hard to get.

Most chords are picked through--I will suggest picking in the TAB.
Some of the chords are pretty wierd and the names are major stretches.
Given that this song implies quartal or whole tone harmony this isn't
surprising, but you were warned.  (Hopefully I made few mistakes :)
You might be able to figure out the right picking by listening
to the song and playing each chord.

Main figure (I recommend practicing this one first to build your picking
technique before attempting the rest).  It is in 8/8 and is kind of
tricky.  Note the beats carefully.

(Note:  I'm kind of unsure about the part above.  I tried to render as best
as I could what I play here (although I tend to improvise a lot when finger-
picking).  It is close and doesn't sound out of place, but you should
consider what Crosby actually plays here as it might be different.  I
personally don't like literal copies so I don't know exactly what he does.
In any event, the original song has several different instruments and
I have tried to render the different parts as best I could.)

Lyrics:

Verse 1

Guenivere had green eyes,
Like yours my lady like yours.
She'd walk out in the garden in the morning after
it rained,
Peacocks wandered aimlessly,
Underneath an orange tree.
Why can't she see me?


Verse 2

Guenivere drew pentagrams,
Like yours my lady like yours,
Late at night when she thought no one was watching,
on the wall.
Do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do...
She shall be free.


Bridge

As she turns her gaze,
Down the slope to the harbor where I lay,
Anchored for a day.


Verse 3

Guenivere had golden hair,
Like yours my lady like yours,
Streaming out when we rode through the warm sands down by the bay,
yesterday.
Seagulls circle endlessly,
I sing in silent harmony.
We shall be free.
