If I Could Read Your Mind Ukulele

(ver. 1)
Gordon Lightfoot
[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
