Nightwish - "Once Upon A Troubadour"
--------------------------------------------------
Intro: Am     G   Am
       F      Em  Am
   Am               G                       Am
A lonely bard wandering across the lands am I
                    G                       Am
Singing dancing finding answers to every why
Am7                            G               Am
The taverns are full and one crosses my path, too
F                    Em                    Am
I just might reward myself with a beer or two
      Am               G             Am
This inn the place of many romantic tales
                    G          Am
On the loft women offer their sales
        Am7                    G           Am
But my eyes they catch a girl beat by everyone
F                      Em           Am
A slave she is but for me a rose undone
Am       F
Hear me sing
Am     C  Em D#m Dm
Watch me dance
Dm         Em       F
Play that lute of thine
      Am                Em*     Em*=xx2000
And share with me this dance
Am                G              Am
As she danced my eyes began to shine
                          G    Am
There she was the maiden so divine
      A7m                        G           Am
How could I approach her with my outlook so poor
F                 Em                       Am
Her beauty being much more than I could endure


Am            G                   Am
So I asked if I could sing a chanson
                   G               Am
With a language of ancient and of lore
A7m                     G                      Am
Gathered the men around us me and the girl in rags
F                       Em           Am
Soon were the melodies heard by everyone
Am       F
Hear us sing
Am    C   Em D#m Dm
Watch us dance
Dm        Em       F
Sing with us this tale
 Am             Em*      Em*=xx2000
With a clap of hands
      Am             G                Am
The stories long-forgotten we still know
                          G       Am
Performing our skills wherever we go
A7m                    G       Am
I end my story as I receive a kiss
F                 Em          Am
From my girl the dearest Beatrice
Am       F
Hear us sing
Am    C   Em D#m Dm
Watch us dance
Dm        Em       F
Sing with us the tales
 Am                         Em*      Em*=xx2000
Which the music will keep alive
