Verse 1
  Am                   Dm 
I am the minstrel and you are my song 
          G                           E7 
The only one that my heartstrings can play 
  Am                          G                     E7 
I would play you tonight and forever as long as it takes 
  Am                                             Dm 
Can you hear the sweet mandolins, cellos, the strum of guitars 
  G                      E 
Softly with a sensitive air 
    Am                     G                      E7 
I’m making a beautiful symphony played with such care 
 
Chorus
             A           D   A 
You are my song let me play you 
      A                     E 
Every note right where it belongs 
          A                  D     A 
And the singer will never forsake you 
           A           E          A 
I am the minstrel and you are my song

Verse 2
                      Am             Dm 
When you leave me my love a melody hangs in the air 
      G                         E7 
And lingers long after you’re gone 
    Am                      G              E7 
A ghost of the music that hauntingly plays on and on 
 
Chorus
             A           D   A 
You are my song let me play you 
      A                     E 
Every note right where it belongs 
          A                  D     A 
And the singer will never forsake you 
           A           E          A 
I am the minstrel and you are my song 
           D      A   A                               E 
Oh, Let me play you, play you till the first light of dawn 
          A                  D     A 
And the singer will never forsake you 
            A         E           A 
I am the minstrel and you are my song 
           D      A   A                           E 
Oh, Let me play you, every note right where it belongs 
          A                  D     A 
And the singer will never forsake you 
            A         E           A 
I am the minstrel and you are my song
