Key: Cm Tuning: Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb Intro: Cm G Verse 1: Cm G I just sang some song about slaying a dragon Ab Bb G I’ve ne’er before actually seen Cm G The audience cheers and they tip by the flagon Ab Bb G Of precious, mind-blackening mead Cm G A child approaches, eyes glossy and gleaming; Ab Bb G He smiles when he looks up at me Cm G He says, “I know some tunes on my grandfather’s lute Ab G Cm And one day I’ll be just like thee.”
G Chorus: Ab Eb “Sing us a song, dear bard! Weave us a tale! Ab G Tell us how good people always prevail! Ab Eb Cm Play us a ditty, we’ll pay from the tap Ab G Cm And after, you’ll feast from our scraps!” G Cm G Verse 2: Cm G Tell you the truth, kid, the story’s a lie; Ab Bb G Ten fools fight a dragon, and nine of them die G Plus one Cm G The world is a death trap that no one survives Ab G Cm And bards are the lowest alive G Cm I sing out my heart to the clamoring crowd G Cm Night after night, but the quiet gets louder and louder Fm Cm I once was so joyous and proud Ab G Cm And now I sleep under the clouds Chorus: Ab Eb We bards are all beggars, the rest of us thieves Ab G For we are the waste that society leaves Ab Cm Our lungs full of song, and our bellies of air Ab G Cm But kid, that’s just life – it ain’t fair Verse 3: G The child runs off crying and leaves me alone; Ab Bb G I gulp down the rest of my mead Cm G The patrons all gawk and they scoff and they groan Ab Bb G But I bite every hand that don’t feed Cm G Take it from me, folks, if you want to fester Ab Bb G And rot with the rest on the street Cm G Then pick up a lyre with the liars and jesters Ab G Cm We’ll sing some more songs we can’t eat
