WWW.AZCHORDS.COM | Gordon Lightfoot - If I Could Read Your Mind Ukulele | Ver. 1
[Verse 1]
A Gsus2
If you could read my mind love
Dadd4 A7sus4 A
What a tale my thoughts could tell
A Gsus2
Just like an old time movie
Dadd4 A7sus4 A
'Bout a ghost from a wishin' well
A A7 D
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
E7 F#m
With chains upon my feet
D A
You know that ghost is me
D Amaj7 A
And I will never be set free
Asus4 E7 A Aadd9 A
As long as I'm a ghost that you can't see
[Verse 2]
A Gsus2
If I could read your mind love
Dadd4 A7sus4 A
What a tale your thoughts could tell
A Gsus2
Just like a paperback novel
Dadd4 A7sus4 A
The kind that drugstores sell
A A7 D
When you reach the part where the heartaches come
E7 F#m
The hero would be me
D A
But heroes often fail
D Amaj7 A
And you won't read that book again
Asus4 E7 A
Because the ending's just too hard to take
[Instrumental Break]
A Aadd9 A Gsus2 Dadd4 A7sus4
A Aadd9 A Gsus2 Dadd4 A7sus4
[Verse 3]
A A7 D
I'd walk away like a movie star
E7 F#m
Who gets burned in a three way script
D A
Enter number two
D Amaj7 A
A movie queen to play the scene
Asus4 E7 F#m
Of bringing all the good things out in me
D A
But for now love, let's be real
D Amaj7 A
I never thought I could act this way
Asus4 E7
And I've got to say that I just don't get it
D Amaj7
I don't know where we went wrong
Asus4
But the feelin's gone
E7 A Aadd9 A Aadd9
And I just can't get it back
[Verse 4]
A Gsus2
If you could read my mind love
Dadd4 A7sus4 A
What a tale my thoughts could tell
A Gsus2
Just like an old time movie
Dadd4 A7sus4 A
'Bout a ghost from a wishin' well
A A7 D
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
E7 F#m
With chains upon my feet
D A
But stories always end
D Amaj7 A
And if you read between the lines
Asus4 E7 F#m
You'll know that I'm just tryin' to understand
D A
The feelin's that you lack
D Amaj7 A
I never thought I could feel this way
Asus4 E7
And I've got to say that I just don't get it
D Amaj7 A
I don't know where we went wrong
Asus4
But the feelin's gone
E7 A Aadd9 A Gsus2 Dadd4 Asus4 A
And I just can't get it back
