Gene Clark – If You Could Read My Mind (Guitar)

                                Dm
[tab]                                   G
What a tale my thoughts would tell

                            Dm
Just like an old time movie

                                  G
'Bout a ghost from a wishing well

                      C
In a castle dark or a fortress strong

     D              Em
With chains upon my feet

    C                  G
You know that ghost is me

    C            G/B
And I will never be set free

   Am            D                 G
As long as I'm a ghost that you can't see

                                Dm
If I could read your mind, love

                                     G
What a tale your thoughts would tell

                             Dm
Just like a paper-back novel

                              G
The kind the drug store sells

                                  C
When you reach the part where the heartaches come

    D             Em
The hero would be me

C            G
Heroes often fail

C                   G/B
You won't read that book again

  Am                 D                G       G7
Because the ending's just too hard to take

                      C
I’ll walk away like a movie star

         D                     Em
Who gets burned in a three-way script

C            G
Enter number two

  C              G/B
A movie queen to play the scene

   Am               D                  Em
Of bringing all the good things out in me

        C                   G
But for now, love, let's be real

  C                     G/B
I never thought I could act this way

     Am                D                 C
I've got to say that I just don't get it

                   G/B
I don't know where we went wrong

        C                    D                G
But the feeling's gone and I just can't get it back

                                Dm
If you could read my mind, love

                                   G
What a tale my thoughts would tell

                            Dm
Just like an old time movie

                                  G
'Bout a ghost from a wishing well

                      C
In a castle dark or a fortress strong

     D              Em
With chains upon my feet

C               G
Stories have to end

    C             G/B
And if you read between the lines

       Am                 D              C
You'll know that I'm just trying to understand

    C                 G
The feelings that you lack

  C                     G/B
I never thought I could act this way

     Am                D                 C
I've got to say that I just don't get it

                   G/B
I don't know where we went wrong

        C                   D                 C
But the feelings gone and I just can't get it

                      G/B
Never thought I could act this way (Oooh)

     Am                D                  C
I've got to say that I just don't get it (Oooh)

                   G/B
I don't know where we went wrong (Oooh)

        Am                D                  G
But the feelings gone and I just can't get it back
