I Give You the Morning - chords, tab and comments
A skilled craftsman in songwriting - combining bitter satire, material of tender and romantic nature and children's songs - Paxton has been widely covered by other artists without having commercial success himself. But he has never attempted to commersialize his act, either. Typically, one of his many albums were named "New Songs for Old Friends"(1973). John Denver recorded "Whose Garden Was This?", Judy Collins cut "The Hostage", *everybody* covered "The Last Thing on My Mind" and I am especially fond of this tribute to a life partner.
