This song brings back a flood of memories …. Back in the late sixties and 70’s I was a folk musician and while visiting England at the tail end of my backpacking trip through Europe in 1970, I heard this song and was totally swept away by the completeness of it musically. I bought the album. And the song “Where do you go to (my lovely) was in my repertoire. When I returned to Toronto this song and Peter Sarstedt were unheard of. There was a late night local TV show that featured a DJ who took song requests. I requested Where do you go to my lovely but the DJ didn’t know the song or artist. Eventually I took my album to the TV station to be delivered to the DJ. That evening he played the song and the audience response was positively overwhelming. In later years and most recently, 5 years ago, I performed this song in public-I always mentioned Peter Sarstedt.

Beautiful rendition of a great song! Thanks for the chords!😀

Years back I was on a ferry going back to England and both Peter and Robin were performing. I spoke to them both after the show to thank them. Great guys.

The song is called Where Do You Go My Lovely by Peter Sarstedt

[@kuriabraham]

Peter Starstedt, 'Where Do You Go My Lovely' !

Leiden… what a great town! One or two stops from Amsterdam on the train and what a night that must have been in a little cafe/bar. Oh to be a barfly on that wall.

[@dennisk.3909]

One of my all time favourites. On top my daughter lives in Leiden. Great.

[@iannicholls7476]

I was asked to accompany a guy on this song at an open mic night a few years ago. Ashamed to say I didn’t know how to play it. So thanks Tom!

Peter Sarstedt unfortunately passed away in 2017. He was from a musical family as his two brothers were also musicians and one was a 60s idol named Eden Kane.

Good lyrics that touch the heart and show feelings. Which people today can´t hardly do anymore.

When I first learned guitar in '65 that is how my brother taught me to play the C chord. He says he still can't play the three fingered version--I worked at it about 10 years ago, but I still like the full sound of the 4 finger C. Nice easy tune to play. Thanks and Stay Well Amazing One!

[@suzukiyesteryear]

Just lovely! Thanks for keeping it simple for us rank beginners…

[@deans.8659]

I was a teen when the song came out. Love it!

[@jeffrowlette]

I keep telling you, you're a great singer!

[@Paul_9.53]

Hi...du bist der Allergrößte. 👍🏽Danke für diese Auffrischung "where do you go to my lovely". Dieses Lied habe ich schon vor mehr als 50 Jahren gespielt und leider vergessen. Jetzt ist es wieder da. Ein superschöner Song. Danke dafür !!!!!👍🏽

[@sapelesteve]

Never heard that song before now. Fantastic tune & I am certain that the bartender was very impressed listening to you play it Thom. Hope that you and your family are doing well! 👍👍🎸🎸

???????????????????

[@edspengeman3407]

Is there anything other than music you handle perfectly.

[@JavierNarvaezjnarvx]

Peter Sarstedt, you will get to Ralph Mc Tell, also one of my favourites that I used to learning English, beautiful guitar

[@2011littlejohn1]

Thanks for reminding me of this I tried it out on my ukulele. By the way I've done gigs in your country and it was a lot of fun. I think the band stayed at a place called Zalbommel.

[@freesk8]

Sweet tune! Never heard it before!

[@kuriabraham]

Yes I know this song 😊

[@gtrdoc911]

It’s so ironic as how as serious musicians we struggle to learn crazy music theory like altered scales and extended chords. Yet the music that really resonates with large portions of the public are more often than not super simple like this song.

[@davidsummerville351]

That dude has quite a head of hair. 😎🤓

[@listairgin]

Excellent learning tips and tricks as always , thank you so much for sharing this with us all. 👌🏻🌅🌌🌠🕊

[@BobK5]

I remember this on top of the pops

[@regthorpe7923]

Thx, Pilgrim. I’ve known this song forever. One is tempted to laugh at it, but then it gets under your skin somehow. Mark Steyn wrote an excellent essay on it a few years back.

[@BAWORBLUES]

I must watching. Tx bro GP.📌

[@FrereTocQc6383]

Wow very great song of my childhood thank's for that.🫵👍💙🤘🤘

Are you into the early days of Country Rock? Can you play the James Burton lead electric guitar intro, solo and fills from the Judy Collins version of Someday Soon as found on the studio album Who Knows Where the Time Goes? NOT the Buddy Emmons Steel parts ... a LOT of vids out there on that ... but NOBODY on YT has ever done the James Burton stuff. That is a shame because this tune REALLY helped to get Country Rock rolling back in the day. I have a feeling you are ducking me, but I'll keep asking.

Found it using the soundhound app

Unfortunately, Peter Sarstedt passed away in 2017.

[@ericheine2414]

Is that a Billy Joel song?

[@HellbillyHalloween]

I thought it was going to be wonderwall

Where Do You Go To My Lovely

[@nonnel64]

Tou should listen to this 1915 italian tradiitional song about a soldier in love during war. This 70s version is sung by a melodic singer, still in vogue. Forgets if you want the Neapolitan style and mandolins, and focus on the lyrics and the melody. Wouldn't anyone want to hear such words from their loved one? "Oh life of mine, oh heart of mine, you were my first love and the only one you will remain for me!" kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXKsnoCCpdGlhqs

[@GuitarPilgrim]

Just watched the clip, that was absolutely fantastic!! Loved it!

[@jameshoskins2031]

Peter Starsted, I think.

[@quarter_moon_and_a_guitar]

First three notes I thought it was all the young dudes

[@randallpinkfloyd]

I think I’ll just stick to Wonderwall *Proceeds to take capo out*

[@ct5908]

😂

[@ceebee491]

Ok, I'm listening 😊 (I'm a sucker for a waltz, and it's a great song). @guitar pilgrim - have you delved into Elliot Smiths music? His acoustic work is genius.

[@GuitarPilgrim]

I will have a listen!

[@ceebee491]

@@GuitarPilgrim I hope you enjoy 👍
