i was having some issues getting this song to sound the same as the one they recorded
is most commonly known.

in fact the guitar should be tunded one whole step down.

the tuning would be

Golden Brown, texture like sun
Dm C6 Dm C6
Lays me down, with my mind she runs
Dm C6 Dm C6
Throughout the night, no need to fight
Dm C6 Dm C6
Never a frown with Golden Brown


Dm C6 Dm C6


Every time, just like the last
On the ship tied to the mast
To distant lands, takes both my hands
Never a frown with Golden Brown


Am Em F G6 Am Em F G6 Am Em F G6 Am Em G F
Dm C6 Dm C6


Golden Brown, fine a temptress
Through the ages she's heading west
>From far away, stays for a day
Never a frown with Golden Brown


Am Em F G6 Am Em F G6 Am Em F G6 Am Em G F
Dm C6 Dm C6
