Minstrel Of The Dawn chords
Gordon Lightfoot

Capo I or III

D                   Dsus4The minstrel of the dawn is here
   G                  ATo make you laugh and bend your ear
D                   Dsus4Up the steps you ll hear him climb
G                         AAll full of thoughts, all full of rhymes
G             CListen to the pictures flow
 G                C                 AAcross the room into your mind they go
D             GListen to the strings
     Bm         DThey jangle and dangle
          E          AWhile the old guitar rings

D                   Dsus4The minstrel of the dawn is he
G                ANot too wise but oh so free
D                      Dsus4He ll talk of life out on the street
G                     AHe ll play it sad and say it sweet
G             CLook into his shining face
   G                 C             AOf loneliness you ll always find a trace
D                GJust like me and you
     Bm             DHe s trying  to get into things
     E          AMore happy than blue

Em A 2x

D                 Dsus4A minstrel of the changing  tide
G                     AHe ll ask for nothing but his pride
D                  Dsus4Just sit him down upon that chair
G                      AGo fetch some wine and set it there
G             CListen to the pictures flow
 G                C                 AAcross the room into your mind they go
D             GListen to the strings
     Bm         DThey jangle and dangle
          E          AWhile the old guitar rings

D                 Dsus4A minstrel of the dawn is near
G                   AJust like a step  n fetch it here
D                     Dsus4He s like an old time troubadour
G                     AJust wanting life and nothing more
G             ALook into his shining eyes
G                      C           AAnd if you see a ghost don t be surprised
D           GLike me and you
     Bm                  DHe s trying  to get into things
     E          AMore happy than blue

D                     Dsus4The minstrel boy will understand
G                  AHe holds a promise in his hand
D                  Dsus4He talks of better days ahead
G                     AAnd by his words your fortune s read
G             AListen to the pictures flow
 G                C                 AAcross the room into your mind they go
D             GListen to the strings
     Bm         DThey jangle and dangle
          E          AWhile the old guitar rings

D                   Dsus4The minstrel of the dawn is gone
G                   AI hope he ll call before too long
D                   Dsus4And if you meet him you must be
G                 AThe victim of his minstrelsy
      G              DHe ll sing for you a song
    A               D  A DThe minstrel of the dawn
