Once Upon A Troubadour

Am            G                   Am
So I asked if I could sing a chanson
                   G               Am
With a language of ancient and of lore
Am7                     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  ... Dm
Watch us dance
Dm        Em       F
Sing with us this tale
 Am             Em*
With a clap of hands

      Am             G                Am
The stories long-forgotten we still know
                          G       Am
Performing our skills wherever we go
Am7                    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  ... Dm
Watch us dance
Dm        Em       F
Sing with us the tales
 Am                         Em*
Which the music will keep alive


Am7              Am              G               F
