D MajorD          Dsus4Dsus4
The minstrel of the dawn is here
  G+G         A augmentedA
To make you laugh and bend your ear

Up the steps you'll hear him climb

All full of thoughts, all full of rhymes

Across the room into your mind they go

They jangle and dangle
     E MajorE     A augmentedA
While the old guitar rings

The minstrel of the dawn is he
G+G        A augmentedA
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
  G+G         C majorC       A augmentedA
Of loneliness you'll always find a trace

Go fetch some wine and set it there

Across the room into your mind they go
