The Monkees TV show version featured the song 
in its original folk song style, with Buckley 
playing solo with a 12 string guitar. 
This stands in contrast to the lusher, 
reverb-filled version present on the Starsailor 
album. The Monkees television spot 
features the song in the key of E 
while the later album version is played in Bb.
