[Intro]
E A G#m B C#m
[Verse 1]
E A G#m B C#m
A little boy sat crying on the floor
E A G#m B C#m
His daddy won't be coming home no more
G#m B A
He cannot reason why
G#m B A
His daddy had to die
E A G#m B C#m
And the Minstrel boy's not singing anymore.
[Chorus]
Em Bm
So play violin, play
G D
Play 'til the night is over
G D Asus4 A Asus2 A
Music will wash away all your sorrow.
[Instrumental]
D G F#m A B
[Verse 2]
E A G#m B C#m
At seventeen he thought he'd never cry
E A G#m B C#m
And then his angel had to say goodbye
G#m B A
But living must go on
G#m B A
To face another dawn
E A G#m B C#m
And the Minstrel boy's not singing anymore.
[Chorus]
Em Bm
So play violin, play
G D
Play 'til the night is over
G D Asus4 A Asus2 A
Music will wash away all your sorrow.
[Instrumental]
D G F#m A B
[Verse 3]
E A G#m B C#m
A moment later, life was just a dream
E A G#m B C#m
Remembering the things he'd done and seen
G#m B A
He now can reason why
G#m B A
He soon will have to die
E A G#m B C#m
And the Minstrel boy's not singing anymore.
E A G#m B C#
And the Minstrel boy's not singing anymore.
F# B Bbm C# D#
And the Minstrel boy's not singing anymore.
G# C# Cm D# F
And the Minstrel boy's not singing anymore.
