Gordon Lightfoot – If I Could Read Your Mind (Ukulele)

    A                         Gsus2
If you could read my mind love

       Dadd4    A7sus4            A
What a tale my thoughts could tell

A                          Gsus2
Just like an old time movie

         Dadd4       A7sus4       A
'Bout a ghost from a wishin' well

A            A7         D
In a castle dark or a fortress strong

      E7             F#m
With chains upon my feet

    D                  A
You know that ghost is me

    D           Amaj7    A
And I will never be set free

    Asus4         E7                   A    Aadd9  A
As long as I'm a ghost that you can't see

 A                            Gsus2
If I could read your mind love

       Dadd4      A7sus4             A
What a tale your thoughts could tell

  A                        Gsus2
Just like a paperback novel

        Dadd4        A7sus4    A
The kind that drugstores sell

A                  A7                D
When you reach the part where the heartaches come

    E7           F#m
The hero would be me

    D            A
But heroes often fail

    D                  Amaj7    A
And you won't read that book again

 Asus4              E7                  A
Because the ending's just too hard to take

A          A7         D
I'd walk away like a movie star

        E7                   F#m
Who gets burned in a three way script

D            A
Enter number two

    D               Amaj7    A
A movie queen to play the scene

  Asus4             E7               F#m
Of bringing all the good things out in me

       D                   A
But for now love, let's be real

 D                    Amaj7      A
I never thought I could act this way

       Asus4              E7
And I've got to say that I just don't get it

D                Amaj7
I don't know where we went wrong

      Asus4
But the feelin's gone

      E7                A   Aadd9  A  Aadd9
And I just can't get it back

A                             Gsus2
If you could read my mind love

         Dadd4        A7sus4       A
What a tale my thoughts could tell

A                           Gsus2
Just like an old time movie

          Dadd4          A7sus4    A
'Bout a ghost from a wishin' well

A           A7           D
In a castle dark or a fortress strong

     E7             F#m
With chains upon my feet

     D             A
But stories always end

    D            Amaj7   A
And if you read between the lines

      Asus4              E7             F#m
You'll know that I'm just tryin' to understand

     D                A
The feelin's that you lack

  D                    Amaj7      A
I never thought I could feel this way

        Asus4              E7
And I've got to say that I just don't get it

D                 Amaj7      A
I don't know where we went wrong

       Asus4
But the feelin's gone

    E7                  A     Aadd9  A Gsus2 Dadd4 Asus4  A
And I just can't get it back
