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

Hear us sing
Am C Em D#m Dm
Watch us dance

Sing with us the tales
Am Em* Em*=xx2000
Which the music will keep alive
