The Minstrel of the Dawn is here, to make you laugh and bend your ear.
D                                       G                     A
Up the steps you'll hear him climb, all full of thoughts, all full of rhymes.
G             C               G                C                 A
Listen to the pictures flow, across the room into your mind they go.
D             G               Bm                          E          A
Listen to the strings....they jangle and dangle while the old guitar rings.


D                                    G                  A
A Minstrel of the Dawn is he, not too wise, but oh so free.
D                                       G                     A
He'll talk of life out on the street, he'll play it sad, he'll play it sweet.
G             C               G                C                 A
Look into his shining face, of lonliness you'll always find a trace.
D             G               Bm                          E          A
Just like me and you, he's trying to get into things more happy than blue.

Minstrel of the changing tide, he'll ask for nothing but his pride.
D                                       G                     A
Just sit him down upon that chair, fetch some wine and set it there.
G             C               G                C                 A
Listen to the pictures flow, follow the fingers where they go.

A Minstrel of the Dawn is near, just like a `step and fetchet' here.
D                                       G                     A
He's like an old time troubadour, wanting life and nothing more.
G             C               G                C                 A
Look into his shining eyes and if you see a ghost don't be surprised.
D             G               Bm                          E          A

The minstrel boy will understand, he holds the promise in his hand.

D                                       G                     A
He talks of better days ahead, and by his words your fortune's read.
