  Wasn't there a dream, last night
  
  G                   Am
  Like a spring never ending 
  
                                        C
  Still the water runs clear through my mind
  
         G                 Am
  On the field I can see a fiddler
  
                     C
  The fiddler on the green
  
        G         Am
  And a saaaad    boy
  
                 C
  I took him too early
  
            G
  Would you mind
  
            F
  Would you mind
  
            G
  Would you mind
  
  If I take you

  Play Riff 1  solo rhythm
  
  Solo 1 (distortion)
  Note:  The notes here fade into each other, so listen when to change
  from note to note. These are the main notes, there may be other 
  notes in the transistions, but they're too faded for me to hear.
