Chords

[Intro] E A G#m B C#m [Verse 1]
 E      A   G#m        B      C#m
A little boy sat crying on the floor

   E     A     G#m       B       C#m
His daddy won't be coming home no more

  G#m    B      A
He cannot reason why

  G#m    B      A
His daddy had to die

       E        A     G#m      B    C#m
And the Minstrel boy's not singing anymore.
[Chorus]
  Em           Bm
So play violin, play

G                     D
Play 'til the night is over

G              D             Asus4 A Asus2 A
Music will wash away all your sorrow.
[Instrumental] D G F#m A B [Verse 2]
  E     A      G#m          B     C#m 
At seventeen he thought he'd never cry

   E        A     G#m    B       C#m 
And then his angel had to say goodbye

   G#m    B       A
But living must go on

   G#m    B    A
To face another dawn

       E        A     G#m      B    C#m
And the Minstrel boy's not singing anymore.
[Chorus]
  Em           Bm
So play violin, play

G                     D
Play 'til the night is over

G              D             Asus4 A Asus2 A
Music will wash away all your sorrow.
[Instrumental] D G F#m A B [Verse 3]
 E      A      G#m      B      C#m 
A moment later, life was just a dream

  E     A      G#m         B        C#m 
Remembering the things he'd done and seen

  G#m     B      A
He now can reason why

  G#m       B       A
He soon will have to die

       E        A     G#m      B    C#m
And the Minstrel boy's not singing anymore.

       E        A     G#m      B    C#

And the Minstrel boy's not singing anymore.
