Intro:
F  Fmaj7  C  F  (4x)
C  Dm7 C

Verse 1:
F            Fmaj7           C                F
Once I was a minstrel boy, I sang just like a bird
                   Fmaj7         C           F
I used to trade in memories, I relived every word
                      Em    F        C                    F
But the galleries are empty now, the crowds have all gone home
                 Fmaj7    C               F
I locked away my songs, I sang them on my own
            Em F  C
I sang them on my own

Instrumental:
F  C  F  C  F  C F C


Verse 2:
                     Fmaj7         C              F
Now those who walk behind me, have heard it all before
                   Fmaj7      C                      F
They knew the many reasons, I screwed them like some whore
                        Em         F     C                    F
Like jumped-up jacks of all trades, they walked with fettered legs
                       Fmaj7             C                  F
And wondered where the tent went, when I pulled out all the pegs
             Em  F   C
I pulled out all the pegs


Instrumental:
F  C  F  C  F  C F C


Chorus:
     F                Fmaj7

This song is sung for me

Verse 3:
                      Fmaj7          C              F
The peaceful queen of platitudes sat resting on his throne
                      Fmaj7               C                  F
His laurel wreath was slipping while he retrieved his buried bone
                        Em     F      C               F
Ah, but I had got there sooner, I had chewed away the fat
                      Fmaj7   C              F
While he slept in the gutter, I slept on the mat
        Em F   C
I slept on the mat


Instrumental:
F  C  F  C  F  C F C
