    Minstrel Of The Dawn-crd


    (D) The minstrel of the (D/F#) dawn is here
    To (G) make you laugh and (A) bend your ear
    (D) Up the steps you'll (D/F#) hear him climb
    All (G) 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 dangle
    While the (E) old guitar (A) rings
    The minstrel of the dawn is he
    Not too wise but oh so free
    He'll talk of life out on the street
    He'll play it sad and say it sweet
    Look into his shining face
    Of lonelines you'll always find a trace
    Just like me and you
    He's trying to get into things
    More happy than blue (Em) (A) (Em) (A)
    A minstrel of the changing tide
    He'll ask for nothing but his pride
    Just sit him down upon that chair
    Go fetch some wine and set it there
    Listen to the pictures flow
    And follow the fingers where they go
    Listen to the strings
    They jangle and dangle
    While the old guitar rings
    A minstrel of the dawn is near
    Just like a step and fetchit here
    He's like an old time troubador
    Just wanting life and nothing more
    Look into his shining eyes
    And if you see a ghost don't be surprised
    Like me and you
    He's trying to get into things
    More happy than blue
    The minstrel boy will understand
    He holds a promise in his hand
    He talks of better days ahead
    And by his words your fortune's read
    Listen to the pictures flow
    Across the room into your mind they go
    Listen to the strings
    They jangle and dangle
    While the old guitar rings
    The minstrel of the dawn is gone
    I hope he'll call before too long
    And if you meet him you must be
    The victim of his minstrelsy
    He'll (G) sing for you a (D) song
    The (A) minstrel of the (D) dawn (A) (D)
