Once Upon a Troubadour

Am                      G               Am
A lonely bard wandering across the lands am I
Am                      G                 Am
Singing dancing finding answers to every why
     C                         G              Am 
The taverns are full and one crosses my path, too
F                    Em7                   Am  
I just might reward myself with a beer or two

This inn the place of many romantic tales 
On the loft women offer their sales
But my eyes they catch a girl beat by everyone
A slave she is but for me a rose undone

Припев:
Am       F
Hear me sing
Am       Em D# Dm    
Watch me dan---ce
Dm                  F
Play that lute of thine
Am                      E
And share with me this dance

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

So I asked if I could sing a chanson
With a language of ancient and of lore
Gathered the men around us me and the girl in rags
Soon were the melodies heard by everyone

Припев:
Hear us sing
Watch us dance
Sing with us this tale
With a clap of hands

The stories long-forgotten we still know
Performing our skills wherever we go
I end my story as I receive a kiss
From my girl the dearest Beatrice

Припев:
Hear us sing
Watch us dance
Sing with us the tales
Which the music will keep alive
