Gordon Lightfoot - Songs The Minstrel Sang


CAPO: 4th Fret



[INTRO:] DmDm FF G+G A7A7 DmDm FF G+G A7A7

[VERSE 1:]
   DmDm        FF
It's almost over it's almost done
    G+G           A7A7
And you can't put the blame on anyone
   DmDm          FF
It's almost easy and it's almost fun
  G+G            A7A7
Did you get caught with your britches on

[CHORUS:]
Asus4Asus4        DmDm
Hi derry-day in the month of May
    FF         C majorC
Was the song the minstrel sang
G minorGm       DmDm
To the good of Robin Hood
   A7A7         DmDm  G+G  DmDm  G+G
Maid Marian and all the gang


[VERSE 2:]
  DmDm          FF
His aim was mean and his shot was clean
    G+G             A7A7
And his suit was the sheen of the evergreen
  DmDm        FF
The folks he knew had naught to fear
     G+G              A7A7
When the sheriff was there, they were over here


[CHORUS:]
Asus4Asus4        DmDm
Hi derry-doon in the month of June
    FF         C majorC
Was the song the minstrel sung
G minorGm       DmDm
To the good of Robin Hood's
   A7A7         DmDm  G+G  DmDm  G+G  DmDm  G+G  DmDm  G+G
Good name and a place to run

[VERSE 3:]
  DmDm           FF
He loved strong ale and a rundown jail
    G+G            A7A7
Was the kind of a scene where he never failed
   DmDm        FF
There was no man on the sea or land
     G+G           A7A7
Who could get Maid Marian on the trail


[CHORUS:]
Asus4Asus4        DmDm
Hi derry-day in the month of May
    FF         C majorC
Was the song the minstrel sang
G minorGm       DmDm
To the good of Robin Hood
   A7A7         DmDm
Maid Marian and all the gang


[INSTRUMENTAL:] DmDm G+G DmDm  A7A7 DmDm FF G+G A7A7  DmDm FF G+G A7A7

[VERSE 4:]
   DmDm        FF
It's almost over, it's almost done
    G+G           A7A7
And you can't put the blame on Marion
  DmDm          FF
She almost made it to the Friar's Gate
    G+G             A7A7
But the old wooden bridge wouldn't elevate


[CHORUS:]
