Song

For a single guitar you can keep the following up during the verses.
And for the chorus a D DUDU pattern of bass note on the down beat
and strums on the other strokes works well.

Verse 1

A cloaking robe of elvenkind
Hangs in my wardrobe behind
All those things that mother
Said were proper for a boy 

Chorus 1

(time signature is now 6/8)
And I know I, I, I could not say
Why, Why, Why
On this summer eveni - ng
Oh-Oh-Ooh-Oh   

Verse 2

(song goes back in 4/4)
Sixteen books on magic spells
Stacked below the cloak of elves
And sixteen books on magic spells
So elegantly bound 

Chorus 2

(time signature is now 6/8)
And I know I, I, I could not say
Why, Why, Why
On this summer eveni - ng
Oh-Oh-Ooh-Oh   
And I know something...something about you
Oh-Oh-Ooh-Oh Oh Oh
And I know something...something about you
Oh-Oh-Ooh-Oh Oh Oh

A cloaking robe of elvenkind
