   Am               G             
A lonely bard wandering across the
          Am
 lands am I
 Am                 G             
Singing dancing finding answers to
          Am
 every why
Am7/E                          G 
The taverns are full and one 
              Am
crosses my path, too
F                    Em          
I just might reward myself with a
          Am
 beer or two

      Am               G          
This inn the place of many 
   Am
romantic tales
 Am                 G          Am
On the loft women offer their sales
Continúa después del anuncio
        Am7/E                  G  
But my eyes they catch a girl beat
         Am
 by everyone
F                      Em        
A slave she is but for me a rose 
   Am
undone

Am       F
Hear me sing
Am     C  Em  ... Dm
Watch me dance
Dm         Em       F
Play that lute of thine
      Am                Em
And share with me this dance

Am                G              Am
As she danced my eyes began to shine
       Am                 G    Am
There she was the maiden so divine
      Am7/E                     
How could I approach her with my 
 G           Am
outlook so poor
F                 Em             
Her beauty being much more than I
          Am
 could endure

Am            G                   Am
So I asked if I could sing a chanson
 Am                G            
With a language of ancient and of 
   Am
lore
Am7/E                   G        
Gathered the men around us me and
              Am
 the girl in rags
F                       Em   
Soon were the melodies heard by 
        Am
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

 Am                       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
