Of The Dawn chords
Gordon Lightfoot
Capo I or III
D Dsus4
The minstrel of the dawn is here
G A
To make you laugh and bend your ear
D Dsus4
Up the steps you ll hear him climb
G A
All full of thoughts, all full of rhymes
G C
Listen to the pictures flow
G C A
Across the room into your mind they go
D G
Listen to the strings
Bm D
They jangle and dangle
E A
While the old guitar rings
D Dsus4
The minstrel of the dawn is he
G A
Not too wise but oh so free
D Dsus4
He ll talk of life out on the street
G A
He ll play it sad and say it sweet
G C
Look into his shining face
G C A
Of loneliness you ll always find a trace
D G
Just like me and you
Bm D
He s trying to get into things
E A
More happy than blue
Em A 2x
D Dsus4
A minstrel of the changing tide
G A
He ll ask for nothing but his pride
D Dsus4
Just sit him down upon that chair
G A
Go fetch some wine and set it there
G C
Listen to the pictures flow
G C A
Across the room into your mind they go
D G
Listen to the strings
Bm D
They jangle and dangle
E A
While the old guitar rings
D Dsus4
A minstrel of the dawn is near
G A
Just like a step n fetch it here
D Dsus4
He s like an old time troubadour
G A
Just wanting life and nothing more
G A
Look into his shining eyes
G C A
And if you see a ghost don t be surprised
D G
Like me and you
Bm D
He s trying to get into things
E A
More happy than blue
D Dsus4
The minstrel boy will understand
G A
He holds a promise in his hand
D Dsus4
He talks of better days ahead
G A
And by his words your fortune s read
G A
Listen to the pictures flow
G C A
Across the room into your mind they go
D G
Listen to the strings
Bm D
They jangle and dangle
E A
While the old guitar rings
D Dsus4
The minstrel of the dawn is gone
G A
I hope he ll call before too long
D Dsus4
And if you meet him you must be
G A
The victim of his minstrelsy
G D
He ll sing for you a song
A D A D
The minstrel of the dawn
