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
