Finding "Daydream" by the Loving' Spoonful in the archives reminded me of another one of their old songs. Although "Younger Girl" appears on their Greatest Hit compilations, chances are you'll have to be of a "certain age" to know it. It's easy to play and I threw in a couple of Am and D7 arpeggios in the middle of one of the Choruses which is similar to the original, but not exact. But it's fun, easy and will do. I also ended the song with a C chord in lieu of the fade-out.

(Anyone heard Sir Paul singing "When I'm 64" recently?) :lol:
Thanks for posting that one, Shug. 8)
Thanks for keeping the Lovin Spoonful up here shug.
I'm of that certain age your talking about shug but I can't say I know this one. I'll have to look up a greatest hits CD to find it. Easy chords though.
Another little curio of their's I love is "Nashville Cats" but I think there is a lot of "guitar picking" :wink: :wink: in that one.
Thanks again
