Minstrel Boy Howling At The Moon

Tom : G
G Em7 C D
Flashing across the prairie in a uncontrollable rage
G Em7 C D
Living every vision you find on the way to the grave
G Em7 C D
Looking for a reason that the world turned its back on you
C D
Hoping that your message somehow makes it thru

[Verse 2]
G Em7 C D
You’re just a minstrel boy howling at the moon
G Em7 C D
A troubadour singing a well worn tune
G Em7 C D
A faded painting of some other place
C D
See the tears of joy, running down your face

[Chorus]
Bm C
Cause' you know you've got to keep pushing on
Bm C
You know you've got to always sing your song
Bm C
Someday it may take you to where you want to be
Bm C D
Where roman candle people explode across the night so beautifully

[Verse 3]
G Em7 C D
If you read a good book you never want the words to end
G Em7 C D
If you lead a good life you'll probably want to live it again
G Em7 C D
So don't worry about moving up to some higher plane
C
Just give all the love you've got inside and
D
Never stop to take down names

[Verse 4]
G Em7 C D
You've got gypsy patterns in every line of your face
G Em7 C D
Chiseled there are the memories that can't be erased
G Em7 C D
And you find it so easy these days to keep your faith
C D
When the things you love the most, will return to you someday

[Chorus]
[Outro]
G Em7 C D
You’re just a minstrel boy howling at the moon
G Em7 C D
A minstrel boy howling at the moon
G Em7 C D
Minstrel boy howling at the moon
C D G
A well known troubadour, singing a well worn tune
