Minstrel Of The Dawn chords
Gordon Lightfoot

Capo I or III

D          Dsus4
The minstrel of the dawn is here
  G         A
To make you laugh and bend your ear
D          Dsus4
Up the steps you'll hear him climb
G             A
All full of thoughts, all full of rhymes
G       C
Listen to the pictures flow
 G        C         A
Across the room into your mind they go
D       G
Listen to the strings
   Bm     D
They jangle and dangle
     E     A
While the old guitar rings

D          Dsus4
The minstrel of the dawn is he
G        A
Not too wise but oh so free
D           Dsus4
He'll talk of life out on the street
G           A
He'll play it sad and say it sweet
G       C
Look into his shining face
  G         C       A
Of loneliness you'll always find a trace
D        G
Just like me and you
   Bm       D
He's trying' to get into things
   E     A
More happy than blue

Em A 2x

D         Dsus4
A minstrel of the changing' tide
G           A
He'll ask for nothing but his pride
D         Dsus4
Just sit him down upon that chair
G           A
Go fetch some wine and set it there
G       C
Listen to the pictures flow
 G        C         A
Across the room into your mind they go
D       G
Listen to the strings
   Bm     D
They jangle and dangle
     E     A
While the old guitar rings

D         Dsus4
A minstrel of the dawn is near
G          A
Just like a step 'n fetch it here
D           Dsus4
He's like an old time troubadour
G           A
Just wanting life and nothing more
G       A
Look into his shining eyes
G           C      A
And if you see a ghost don't be surprised
D      G
Like me and you
   Bm         D
He's trying' to get into things
   E     A
More happy than blue

D           Dsus4
The minstrel boy will understand
G         A
He holds a promise in his hand
D         Dsus4
He talks of better days ahead
G           A
And by his words your fortune's read
G       A
Listen to the pictures flow
 G        C         A
Across the room into your mind they go
D       G
Listen to the strings
   Bm     D
They jangle and dangle
     E     A
While the old guitar rings

D          Dsus4
The minstrel of the dawn is gone
G          A
I hope he'll call before too long
D          Dsus4
And if you meet him you must be
G         A
The victim of his minstrelsy
   G       D
He'll sing for you a song
  A        D A D
The minstrel of the dawn
