By Gordon Lightfoot Key: G 7 -6* 7 -7 7 -5 7 If you could read my mind love -6 -6 -6 6 6 -5 -5 What a tale my thoughts would tell 7 -6* 7 -7 7 -5 7 Just like an old time mov-ie -6 -6 -6 6 6 6 -5 -5 'Bout a ghost from a wish-ing well -5 -5 -5 6 -6 6 -6 -7 7 7 In a cas-tle dark or a for-tress strong -7 -8 -7 7 -7 7 With chains up-on my feet 7 -6* 6 6 -5 -5 You know that ghost is me -5 -6* 7 7 7 -6* 7 7 And I will nev-er be set free, 7 -6* 7 7 -7 -8 -7 7 -7 7 As long as I'm a ghost that you can�t see If I could read your mind, love What a tale your thoughts could tell Just like a pap-er-back nov-el The kind the drug-store sells Then you reached the part Where the heart-aches come The he-ro would be me. But he-ros of-ten fail And you won�t read the book a-gain Be-cause the end-ing just to hard to take -5 -5 6 -6 6 -6 -7 7 7 I�d walk a-way, like a mov-ie star 7 -7 -8 -7 -7 7 -7 7 Who gets burned in a three-way script -6* 6 6 -5 -5 -5 -6* 7 7 En-ter num-ber two: a mov-ie queen 7 -6* 7 7 7 -6* 7 7 To play the scene of bring-ing all -7 -8 -7 7 -7 7 The good things out of me 7 7 -6* 6 6 -5 -5 But for now love, let�s be real -5-6* 7 7 7 7 -6* 7 7 I nev-er thought I could act this way 7 7 -6* 7 7 And I�ve got to say 7 -7 -8 -7 7 -7 that I just don�t get it -6* 7 7 7 -6* 7 7 I don't know where we went wrong 7 7 -6* 7 7 But the feel-ing's gone 7 -7 -8 -7 7 -7 7 and I just can't get it back 7 -6* 7 -7 7 -5 7 If you could read my mind love -6 -6 -6 6 6 -5 -5 What a tale my thoughts would tell 7 -6* 7 -7 7 -5 7 Just like an old time mov-ie -6 -6 -6 6 6 6 -5 -5 'Bout a ghost from a wish-ing well -5 -5 -5 6 -6 6 -6 -7 7 7 In a cas-tle dark or a for-tress strong -7 -8 -7 7 -7 7 With chains up-on my feet 7 -6* 6 6 -5 -5 But stor-ies al-ways end -5 -6* 7 7 7 -6* 7 7 And if you read be-tween the lines 7 -6* 7 7 -7 -8 You�d know that I'm just try�n -7 7 -7 7 To un-der-stand 7 -6* 6 6 -5 -5 The feel-ings that you lack. -5-6* 7 7 7 7 -6* 7 7 I nev-er thought I could feel this way 7 7 -6* 7 7 And I�ve got to say 7 -7 -8 -7 7 -7 That I just don�t get it. -6* 7 7 7 -6* 7 7 I don�t know where we went wrong 7 7 -6* 7 7 But the feel-ings gone, 7 -7 -8 -7 7 -7 7 And I just can�t get it back. |
