NOTES:
If you are a solo acoustic guitar, you could probably play the verse chords
(D, G and A) as an intro rather than attempt the intro the band plays on 
the recording. But see what you think...

  Hello Sandy Allen,   the world's tallest woman. 
D         G          A         D             | G        A |
  We made friends in New York,   don't know if you'll remember.
    G        A     Bm     C            G          A       D
I'm bound to say I felt uneasy, when I first laid eyes on you.


VERSE2:
D       G         A       D            | G      A |
  But I liked the way you talked, like a living hoper,
D          G    A         D            | G    A | 
  Towering over our heads,  in more ways than one.
    G         A        Bm       C           G      A     Em
The hand that shook my hand was awesome, it still amazes me
