Edwin McCain – Jesters Dreamers And Thieves (Ukulele)

C#m                   B          E                      F#
Looking back on younger days the view stretched on for miles,

C#m                   B          E                      F#
We charged into our futures with laughter and with smiles,

C#m                B         E              F#
As we traveled blindly the road became so thick,

C#m                B                     E                  F#
No chance to change direction and we've laughed until we're sick,

C#m          B          E           F#
Now I keep company with wicked evil men,

C#m              B          E                      F#
My generosity's brimming but I'm still inclined to sin,

C#m                   B          E                 F#
My friends think I am crazy and I know that may be so,

C#m              B             E                   F#
But I'm as happy with a penny as coffers full of gold ,

        A                G#m7
And so for all of you I say,

                B                   F#       G
Don't miss the forest for all the trees,

A                G#m7
And don't ever question,

B          F#      G
Honor Among Thieves,

C#m                   B          E                      F#
The undergrowth has parted now the path is easily read,

C#m                   B          E                      F#
It's lined with all the doubters regretting all they've said,

C#m                   B          E                      F#
God bless all the dreamers and those who lead with soul,

C#m                   B          E                      F#
For how can you know virtue 'less you fought out of a hole,

         A                G#m7
And so for all of you I say,

                B                   F#  G
don't miss the forest for all the trees,

      A           G#m7
And don't ever question

B      F#      G
Honor Among Thieves,

C#m                   B
When you feel that you've lost your,

E                      F#
Do do bwee, do do bwee, do do bwee, do do bwee,

C#m   B            E           F#
Wee, Wee do do do, Wee do do, do do,

C#m                   B
Just remember you have,

E                      F#
Your Skidalee do wow,  Skidalee do wow,  Skidalee do wow,

C#m                   B          E                      F#
Skidalee do wow, Do do bwee,  yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!!!!

C#m            B          E                  F#
Trickle of a chuckle as laughter starts to pour,

C#m            B          E                  F#
Bells begin to jingle the trickles now a roar,

C#m            B             E                  F#
Pan floutist, cloven dancer, THE MISCHIEF HAS BEGUN,

C#m               B           E                  F#
Laugh with me if it's funny, laugh at me if it's fun,

      A             G#m7          B    F#     G
And I don't know St. Peter but I know he believes,

     A              G#m7        B       F#         G
There's a place in heaven for Jesters, Dreamers & Thieves,
