Minstrel Boy

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]

[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.

[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.
