If You Could Read My Mind Gordon Lightfoot
If You Could Read My Mind chords
Gordon Lightfoot
Capo II
[G]If you could read my mind love
[F]What a tale my thoughts could tell
[G]Just like an old time movie
[F]'bout a ghost from a wishin' well
[G]In a castle [G7]dark or a [C]fortress strong
With [D]chains upon my f[Em]eet
You [C]know that ghost is [G]me
And [C]I will never [G]be set free
As [Am7]long as I m a [D]ghost that you can t [G]see
[G]If I could read your mind love
[F]What a tale your thoughts could tell
[G]Just like a paperback novel
[F]The kind that drugstores sell
[G]When you reach the [G7]part where the [C]heartaches come
The [D]hero would be m[Em]e
But [C]heroes often [G]fail
And [C]you won't read that [G]book again
Bec[Am7]ause the ending's [D]just too hard to ta[G]ke
[G]( [F]Ta[G]b [F]from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/g/gordon_lightfoot/if_you_could_read_my_mind_crd_ver_6.html )
[G]I d walk a[G7]way like a [C]movie star
Who gets [D]burned in a three way [Em]script
[C]Enter number [G]two
A [C]movie queen to [G]play the scene
Of [Am7]bringing all the [D]good things out in [G]me
[C]But for now love, let's be [G]real
I [C]never thought I could [G]act this way
[Am7]And I've got to say that I [D]just don't get it
[C]I don't know where [G]we went wrong
But the [Am7]feelin's gone
And I [D]just can't get it [G]back
[G]If you could read my mind love
[F]What a tale my thoughts could tell
[G]Just like an old time movie
[F]'bout a ghost from a wishin' well
[G]In a castle [G7]dark or a [C]fortress strong
With [D]chains upon my [Em]feet
But [C]stories always [G]end
And [C]if you read be[G]tween the lines
You'll [Am7]know that I'm just [D]tryin' to under[G]stand
The [C]feelin's that you [G]lack
I [C]never thought I could [G]feel this way
And I've [Am7]got to say that I [D]just don't get it
[C]I don't know where [G]we went wrong
But the [Am7]feelin's gone
And I [D]just can't get it [G]back
