Gordon Lightfoot – Minstrel Of The Dawn (Ukulele)

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

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
