Dave Cousins - A Song For Me
[Intro]
F Fmaj7 C F (4x)
C Dm7 C
[Verse 1]
F Fmaj7 C F
Once I was a minstrel boy, I sang just like a bird
Fmaj7 C F
I used to trade in memories, I relived every word
Em F C F
But the galleries are empty now, the crowds have all gone home
Fmaj7 C F
I locked away my songs, I sang them on my own
Em F C
I sang them on my own
[Instrumental]
F C F C F C F C
[Verse 2]
Fmaj7 C F
Now those who walk behind me, have heard it all before
Fmaj7 C F
They knew the many reasons, I screwed them like some whore
Em F C F
Like jumped-up jacks of all trades, they walked with fettered legs
Fmaj7 C F
And wondered where the tent went, when I pulled out all the pegs
Em F C
I pulled out all the pegs
[Instrumental]
F C F C F C F C
[Chorus]
F Fmaj7
This song is sung for me
C F
This song is sung for me
Fmaj7
This song is sung for me
C F
This song is sung for me
C
This song is sung for me
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
Fmaj7 C F
The peaceful queen of platitudes sat resting on his throne
Fmaj7 C F
His laurel wreath was slipping while he retrieved his buried bone
Em F C F
Ah, but I had got there sooner, I had chewed away the fat
Fmaj7 C F
While he slept in the gutter, I slept on the mat
Em F C
I slept on the mat
[Instrumental]
F C F C F C F C
[Chorus]

This song is sung for me
