Gordon Lightfoot - Songs The Minstrel Sang
CAPO: 4th Fret
         DmF G A7DmF G A7
[INTRO:]               
[VERSE 1:]
     Dm               F
It's almost over it's almost done
        G                      A7
And you can't put the blame on anyone 
     Dm                   F
It's almost easy and it's almost fun 
    G                        A7
Did you get caught with your britches on
[CHORUS:]
Asus4               Dm
Hi derry-day in the month of May 
        F                 C
Was the song the minstrel sang 
Gm             Dm
To the good of Robin Hood 
     A7                 Dm    G   Dm   G
Maid Marian and all the gang
[VERSE 2:]
    Dm                   F
His aim was mean and his shot was clean 
        G                         A7
And his suit was the sheen of the evergreen 
    Dm                F
The folks he knew had naught to fear 
         G                            A7
When the sheriff was there, they were over here
[CHORUS:]
Asus4                Dm
Hi derry-doon in the month of June
        F                 C
Was the song the minstrel sung
Gm             Dm
To the good of Robin Hood's 
     A7                  Dm    G   Dm   G    Dm    G   Dm   G
Good name and a place to run
[VERSE 3:]
   Dm                     F
He loved strong ale and a rundown jail 
        G                        A7
Was the kind of a scene where he never failed 
      Dm                F
There was no man on the sea or land 
          G                      A7
Who could get Maid Marian on the trail
[CHORUS:]
Asus4               Dm
Hi derry-day in the month of May 
        F                 C
Was the song the minstrel sang

It's almost over, it's almost done 
        G                      A7
And you can't put the blame on Marion 
    Dm                    F
She almost made it to the Friar's Gate
        G                          A7
But the old wooden bridge wouldn't elevate
[CHORUS:]
Asus4                Dm
Hi derry-doon in the month of June
