[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]~

[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]~

[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]~
