Spent an awful lot of time 
making tunes and making rhymes from
things that other 
people 
do, yeah 
From this heap of words and rhyme I
never really gave much time to something 
just for 
you, yeah

Gemini child you 
know I love you, but
I don't really have to 
tell you. 'Cause you 
know damn well that I 
do

Anyway it’s not so much 
what I say as
What I 
do for 
you girl
So here's a song that I 
brought along, though it 
really 
comes from 
you, yeah 

Gemini child, you 
make life come alive 
Suddenly there's so much 
living to 
share with you, and I 
do

Kevin Ayers

(version from "Singing the Bruise - the BBC sessions 1970-72")
(a song that didn't make it onto the album "Shooting at the Moon")

Chords given in the form xxoo4o2 (Bm) represent the frets stopped on each of the six strings of the guitar, lowest pitch on the left, highest pitch on the right, with standard tuning EADGBE. A t means that the thumb is used to fret the low E string. An x means that this particular string is not played, or damped, and an o means that it is open (no fret is fingered for that string - or, if you like, the "zeroth" fret is stopped). A 4 (for example) means that a finger is placed on fingerboard behind (towards the tuning-peg end) the 4th fret. Or, if you like to think of it that way, in the 4th "space" between frets. (Most guitars have mother of pearl dots inlaid behind the 3rd, 5th 7th, 9th and 12th (octave) frets.)
