Minstrel Of The Dawn chords
Gordon Lightfoot
Capo I or III
[D]The minstrel of the [Dsus4]dawn is here
To [G]make you laugh and [A]bend your ear
[D]Up the steps you ll [Dsus4]hear him climb
[G]All full of thoughts, all [A]full of rhymes
[G]Listen to the [C]pictures flow
A[G]cross the room in[C]to your mind they [A]go
[D]Listen to the [G]strings
They [Bm]jangle and [D]dangle
While the [E]old guitar [A]rings
[D]The minstrel of the [Dsus4]dawn is he
[G]Not too wise but [A]oh so free
[D]He ll talk of life out [Dsus4]on the street
[G]He ll play it sad and [A]say it sweet
[G]Look into his [C]shining face
Of [G]loneliness you ll [C]always find a [A]trace
[D]Just like me and [G]you
He s [Bm]trying to get [D]into things
More [E]happy than [A]blue
Em A 2x
[D]A minstrel of the [Dsus4]changing tide
[G]He ll ask for nothing [A]but his pride
[D]Just sit him down u[Dsus4]pon that chair
[G]Go fetch some wine and [A]set it there
[G]Listen to the [C]pictures flow
A[G]cross the room in[C]to your mind they [A]go
[D]Listen to the [G]strings
They [Bm]jangle and [D]dangle
While the [E]old guitar [A]rings
[D]A minstrel of the [Dsus4]dawn is near
[G]Just like a step n [A]fetch it here
[D]He s like an old time [Dsus4]troubadour
[G]Just wanting life and [A]nothing more
[G]Look into his [A]shining eyes
[G]And if you see a ghost [C]don t be sur[A]prised
[D]Like me and [G]you
He s [Bm]trying to get into [D]things
More [E]happy than [A]blue
[D]The minstrel boy will [Dsus4]understand
[G]He holds a promise [A]in his hand
[D]He talks of better [Dsus4]days ahead
[G]And by his words your [A]fortune s read
[G]Listen to the [A]pictures flow
A[G]cross the room in[C]to your mind they [A]go
[D]Listen to the [G]strings
They [Bm]jangle and [D]dangle
While the [E]old guitar [A]rings
[D]The minstrel of the [Dsus4]dawn is gone
[G]I hope he ll call be[A]fore too long
[D]And if you meet him [Dsus4]you must be
[G]The victim of his [A]minstrelsy
He ll [G]sing for you a [D]song
The [A]minstrel of the [D]daw[A]n[D]
