Intro

(begin strumming pattern Verse)

Verse

A lonely bard wandering across the lands am I
Singing dancing finding answers to every why
The taverns are full and one crosses my path, too
I just might reward myself with a beer or two 

Verse

This inn the place of many romantic tales
On the loft women offer their sales
But my eyes they catch a girl beat by everyone
A slave she is but for me a rose undone

Chorus

Hear me sing
Watch me dance 
Play that lute of thine
And share with me this dance

Verse

As she danced my eyes began to shine
There she was the maiden so divine
How could I approach her with my outlook so poor
Her beauty being much more than I could endure

Verse

So I asked if I could sing a chanson
With a language of ancient and of lore
Gathered the men around us me and the girl in rags
Soon were the melodies heard by everyone

Chorus

Hear us sing
Watch us dance 
Sing with us this tale
With a clap of hands

Bridge

Verse

The stories long-forgotten we still know
Performing our skills wherever we go
I end my story as I receive a kiss
From my girl the dearest Beatrice

Chorus

Hear us sing
Watch us dance 
Sing with us the tales
Which the music will keep alive
(repeat last Chorus and fade-out)
