If You Could Read My Mind

Gordon Lightfoot

Ton : GCapo 2English
123 bpm
Intro :G G(add9)(32O2O3) (x2)
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 In a castle G7dark or a Cfortress strong
With Dchains upon my Emfeet
You Cknow that ghost is Gme
And CI will never be Em9 (O2OOO2)set free
As Am7long as I m a Dghost that you can t Gsee G(add9) 
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 When you reach the G7part where the Cheartaches come
The Dhero would be Emme
But Cheroes often Gfail
And Cyou won't read that Em9book again
BecAm7ause the ending's Djust too hard to taGke
G F Fmaj7 G F Fmaj7 
G I d walk G7away like a Cmovie star
Who gets Dburned in a three way Emscript
CEnter number Gtwo
A Cmovie queen to Em9play the scene
Of Am7bringing all the Dgood things out in Emme
But for nCow love, let's be Greal
I Cnever thought I could Em9act this way
And I've Am7got to say that I jDust don't get it
C I don't know where Em9we went wrong
But the Am7feelin's gone
And I Djust can't get it Gback G G(add9) G G(add9) 
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 In a castle G7dark or a Cfortress strong
With Dchains upon my Emfeet
But sCtories always Gend
And Cif you read betEm9ween the lines
You'll Am7know that I'm just Dtryin'to underEmstand
The Cfeelin's that you Glack
I Cnever thought I could Em9feel this way
And I've Am7got to say that I Djust don't get it
C I don't know where Em9we went wrong
But the Am7feelin's gone
And I Djust can't get it Gback F G
