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