Minstrel of the dawn

{ capo 3rd fret }  
  
  
D                                    G                  A  
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               A           D               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             A                  D          E          A  
Just like me and you, he's trying to get into things more happy than blue.  
  
  
   { guitar solo }  
  
  Use: E    E    A    A    E    E    A    A  
  
  
D                                    G                  A  
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.  
D             G             A           D               E          A  
Listen to the strings, they jangle and dangle while the old guitar rings.  
  
  
D                                    G                  A  
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            A                  D           E          A  
Just like me and you, he's trying to get into things more happy than blue.  
  
  
D                                    G                  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.  
G             C               G                C                 A  
Listen to the pictures flow, follow the fingers where they go.  
D             G             A          D                E          A  
Listen to the strings, they jangle and dangle while the old guitar rings.
