Minstrel Boy Howling At The Moon Cifras

[Intro]
G Em C D x4
 
[Verse 1]
 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]
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
 
[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
