A5 G5 A5
So I asked if I could sing a chanson
G5 A5
With a language of ancient and of lore
A5 G5 A5
Gathered the men around us me and the girl in rags
F5 E5 A5
Soon were the melodies heard by everyone
A5 F5
Hear us sing
A5 C5 E5 ../ D5
Watch us dance
D5 E5 F5
Sing with us this tale
A5 Em*
With a clap of hands
A5 G5 A5
The stories long-forgotten we still know
G5 A5
Performing our skills wherever we go
A5 G5 A5
I end my story as I receive a kiss
F5 E5 A5
From my girl the dearest Beatrice
A5 F5
Hear us sing
A5 C5 E5 ../ D5
Watch us dance
D5 E5 F5
Sing with us the tales
A5 Em*
Which the music will keep alive
