Am G Am
So I asked if I could sing a chanson
G Am
With a language of ancient and of lore
Am7 G Am
Gathered the men around us me and the girl in rags
F Em Am
Soon were the melodies heard by everyone
Am F
Hear us sing
Am C Em ... Dm
Watch us dance
Dm Em F
Sing with us this tale
Am Em*
With a clap of hands
Am G Am
The stories long-forgotten we still know
G Am
Performing our skills wherever we go
Am7 G Am
I end my story as I receive a kiss
F Em Am
From my girl the dearest Beatrice
Am F
Hear us sing
Am C Em ... Dm
Watch us dance
Dm Em F
Sing with us the tales
Am Em*
Which the music will keep alive
Am7 Am G F
