G
 If you could read my mind love
F
 What a tale my thoughts could tell
G
 Just like an old time movie
F
'bout a ghost from a wishin' well
G            G7        C
 In a castle dark or a fortress strong
     D              Em
With chains upon my feet
    C                  G
You know that ghost is me
    C            G*
And I will never be set free
   Am7           D                    G
As long as I'm a ghost that you can't see
 
G
 If I could read your mind love
F
 What a tale your thoughts could tell
G
 Just like a paperback novel
F
 The kind that drugstores sell
G                   G7             C
 When you reach the part where the heartaches come
    D             Em
The hero would be me
    C            G
But heroes often fail
    C                   G*
And you won't read that book again
   Am7               D                G
Because the ending's just too hard to take
 
G F G F
 
G          G7         C
 I'd walk away like a movie star
         D                     Em
Who gets burned in a three way script
C            G
Enter number two
  C              G*
A movie queen to play the scene
   Am7              D                  Em
Of bringing all the good things out in me
        C                  G
But for now love, let's be real
  C                     G*
I never thought I could act this way         
         Am7               D
And I've got to say that I just don't get it
C                  G*
I don't know where we went wrong      
        Am7
But the feelin's gone
      D                 G
And I just can't get it back

With chains upon my feet
    C              G
But stories always end
    C             G*
And if you read between the lines
       Am7                D              Em
You'll know that I'm just tryin' to understand
    C                 G
The feelin's that you lack
  C                     G*
I never thought I could feel this way
         Am7               D
And I've got to say that I just don't get it

And I just can't get it back

I used to play this decades ago, and this is exactly the way I remember it from the book I had back then. Thanks for a chance to brush up on all my old Gordan Lightfoot songs (all 3 that I used to play :). This is just an awesome song to fingerpick. Between this and Iris by Googoo Dolls I've made 3 different girls cry this week! Now that's what rock is all about!

Hi Pencom, Thanks for tabbing this great Gordon Lightfoot song. Here is a couple of suggested changes to consider: 1. Play a G add9 chord after the G chord in the middle of the lines of the verses.= that start with a G chord. 2. I play a G/B chord rather than a G chord in the lines in the BRIDGE for the C chord. 3. I play an Em chord rather than a G chord at the end of a couple of lines in the BRIDGE. These lines start with an Am7 chord then go to a D chord and then I play an Em chord rather than the G chord. Thanks for listening. Tom
