    Thanks for all the Donovan songs from HMS Donovan Jerry, one of my favourite albums! His picking style and songs are like no other and The Road is no exception. Keep up the good work!

      Brilliant! Thanks for that Marc. Now it can become a great songwriting exercise to start that verse on Don’s A chord and then finish it yourself.

        Ha ha, all in good time, Jerry :-)
        What puzzles me is that it’s not like Donovan to do anything unintentional, so perhaps he just didn’t fancy singing that second verse. Or did they run out of room?

          Could be either of those. Another possibility is that he started improvising the second verse and didn’t like the results.

            I think you may well be right, Jerry.

    Thanks so much, Jerry, another super job
    Quite challenging to play it just like Don does!
    Perhaps the A chord ending was unintentional as it ends
    so abruptly with that fade out.

    Anyway I like to add the poem’s second verse, to lengthen the song:
    “The grown folk pass beneath the trees that stand so straight and tall
    But I must stay at home and play, because I am so small
    And wait till I am big and strong, before I go to see
    What lies along the great white road that beckons now to me”
