Chris de Burgh – The Wedding Feast (Guitar)

D      G        A    D
So the wedding feast begins

D       G         A           Bm
Jesters dance and maidens sing

         Bm/Bb    Bm/A        Bm/Ab
Pork and vension, chicken and beef,

G           A
As befits a wedding feast

D      G      A         D
For a Loxley, duty calls

        G           A        Bm
But for Robin these castle walls

       Bm/Bb       Bm/A  Bm/Ab
Were a prison, and not a home

    G                 A      D
His greatest wish was to be gone

              G          D           A           D
For there are hopes and dreams in a young man's heart

    G               A
To take him to the sky

       D     D/C#      Bm     Bm/A
But if he is tied down to the ground

     G                A      D
His dreams will never fly

F               Bb        F     Bb         F       C
Then his father bids him speak, upon this wedding day

    Gm                Eb            F                G
But too much wine, in veno veritas, truth is on the way

C              F           G                C
Father I have always been, at you back and call

       Am                G              F             G
But I don't need you to tell me what I can and cannot do

   Bb                  Eb   Bb  Eb     Bb   F
So with King Richard I will go, to the Holy Land

Cm                Ab                 Bb             C
Guy of Gisbourne, will you join me? Swear it on my hand!

D      G       A           D
As for Marian, waiting in dread

          G      A       Bm
Trembling at the wedding bed

      Bm/Bb   Bm/A      Bm/Ab
Robin tells her from the door

G               A
"Do not fear, I will not stay

G               A                  D
I'll be gone, before the break of day"

              G          D          A            D
For there are hopes and dreams in a young man's heart

    G               A
To take him to the sky

        D    D/C#       Bm      Bm/A
But if he is tied down, to the ground

    G                 A       D
His dreams will never fly
