Lovely Princess.***Donovan       https://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/donovan/lovely-princess-chords-1515187              

 (capo 2)


This is a beautiful song. I don't know why it's not included in any albums.

It's featured in the Donovan In Concert DVD. The chords are fairly simple, but it has a few

flourishes and arrangements that take a few tries to get just right.


G (to the) C (x2) A||---0--2--3-|

                  E||-3---------|


C                          Am

There in her Dresden bath chamber

F                       G

Spacious mirror, yellow gold

C                 Am

I often dream of disrobing

F                    G

My lady, may I be so bold

                                            (fill 1)

F       G           C (fill 1)           E||-----------0-1

I’m in love with a princess              B||-(1)-0-1-3----

F              G            C (/B)

Will her hand ever grace my own?

Am                   F

I’m in love with a princess

       C      G        C    (+G on the first string)

Ooh, lovely Princess Anne


There on the good old TV, la-la-la-la

In a domestic situation

’Twas there I saw her fair continence

I cannot hurl off this station


Love comes not only to a princess

All are blessed or cursed with the shaft

I’m in love with a princess

Ooh, lovely Princess Anne (+G - (G), A, B, C single notes)


C            G            Am

There in the grand dining hall

F                          G

She looked so innocent and wise

C       G           Am

With a foam-like softness

F                           G

In a misty dream within her eyes


I’m in love with a princess

Her hand will never grace my own

I’m in love with a princess

Ooh, lovely Princess Anne (+G - G, A, B, C single notes)


And late at night upon silk pillows

She wanders through her peasant dreams

Once kissed princes changed to froggies

The fairy tale reversed it seems


F           G        C

But I’m in love with a princess

F              G             C    G        Am

Will her hand ever grace my own? La-la-de-la-la

(Am)                 F

I’m in love with a princess

C            G        C  (stop strumming)

Ooh, lovely princess Anne


G   Am


(Am) G           F

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ohh

      C    G       C

Ooh, lovely princess Anne
