Seriously? Now I'm jealous. When I say "I listen to Johnny Flynn", the people at my school say "what?" or ask who the hell he is. The tragedy of my life ...
For another version I'm playing standard tuning (dont know what he uses), no capo; Verse 1: 'we shared the experience of being alive... we talked as it was free' : [D/A/Bm/D] [D/A/G] (x2) 'when we went.... i'll fetch in some clover' : [A/G/D/A] (x2) 'And all of the yellow melancholy.... singing of a lark' : [Bm/A/G/Bm] [Bm/A/G] (x2) Chorus: [Bm/A/G/D] [Bm/A/G] x 2
This has to be one of my favourite Johnny Flynn songs.
Best version of this song... so pure! =) Thanks for sharing!
I discovered Daytrotter thanks to Johnny Flynn, and must admit this is one of the best sessions I have listened to! It was love at first time
I go to his old school! So when I talk about him, everyone knows who I mean. Success!
Fantastic!! great song
That happened at my old school too, it was so upsetting but now all is well
I can't WAIT for his new album.
since he's born '83 it isn't such a big surprise that he's married!

Reminds me a lot of Bert Jansch
Haha, I still maintain Johnny as my favourite artist ever. Daytrotter's not that bad as well!
No, according to Johnny it's a reference to T.S. Elliot.
Is he singing about 'Holly Golightly'? As in, Breakfast at Tiffany's? Or is he singing 'Holly go lightly'?
Was this written for Elliot Smith?
Poor litle thing :)
Sounds quite a bit like Nick Drake
