_ Minstrel boy, the [Eb] war has gone, [Ab] in the ranks of death you [Bb] will find him.
[Eb]
His father's [Ab] sword he has [Eb] girded on, and his proud heart slung [Bb] behind [Eb] him.
Land [Cm] of song, [Bb] to the warrior bard, [Eb] though all the world _ [Fm] [Bb] betrays thee [Eb] one sword,
at least [Ab] thy right [Eb] shall guard, one faithful harp [Bb] shall [Eb] praise thee. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Minstrel fell, but the foeman's chains could [Ab] not bring his [Bb] proud soul _ [F] under.
[Eb] For the [Bb] harp he [Ab] loved there spoke [Eb] again, for he tore its [Bb] chords _ [Eb] asunder.
And he [Bb] said, [Cm] no chains [Bb] shall sully thee, [Ab] thy soul of love and [Bb] bravery.
[Eb] Oh, songs of men, [Ab] for pure [Eb] and free, they will never _ [Bb] summon [Eb] slavery. _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ Minstrel [A] boy, to the war has gone, in the ranks of death you will find him.
His father's [Ab] sword he has girded on, and his proud heart slung [Bb] behind him.
Land of song, to the warrior bard, [Eb] though all the world _ [Fm] _ betrays [Eb] thee one sword,
at [Ab] least thy right [Eb] shall guard, one faithful harp [Bb] shall [Eb] praise thee. Praise. _ _ _ _ _

[Ab] Yeah.
_ [Eb] _ _ [Db] _ _
Huh?
_ _ [Gb] _ [Ab] God, are you there? _
_ [Bb] _ _ Any suggestions, by the way? _
It's a long way to be here tonight.
Is there anything special you expected to hear and you haven't heard yet?
_ [Fm] _ What is it?
_ Old friend.
It's already on two CDs.
[Bb] We'll do it for you, though.

_ [B] _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ [Gb] _
_ [Bbm] _ _ _ [Gb] _ [Abm] I haven't thought of you in [Bbm] a long time.
_ [B] _ _ [Gb] The distance [Abm] and commitments _ [Bb] [Bbm] have kept us [B] far apart.
_ [Gb] _ [Abm] Then in the din [Eb] of a [Db] crowded room, [Ebm] _ [B] the eyes of a stranger brought [Ab] you back [Db] into my heart.
_ _ _ [Gb] _ _ Then like the [Abm] wave it all [Bbm] came rolling [B] back. _ _
[Gb] The memory [Abm] sent me spinning [Bbm] far away from where [B] I stood.
[Gb] I [Abm] saw your smile [Ebm] and felt your hand again.
_ And [B] your spirit was around me [Ab] like a fire in [Db] the room.
_ _ _ [Gb] _ Old [Db] friend, [Ebm] how's life treating you?
_ [B] Are you well?
[Gb] Are you happy?
[Ab] Am I ever on [Db] your mind?
_ [Bb] _ [Gb] _ An [Db] old friend, how's [Ebm] life treating you? _
[Bb] Did you get the things [Gb] you wanted?
[Bb] Did you [Db] ever have [Gb] the time?
[Abm] _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ [Abm] Then the stranger [Bb] turned away from [B] me.
_ [Gb] And the noises of the [Ab] crowd _ [Eb] [Bbm] were all that had [B] my ear.
_ [Gb] A [Ab] gentle moment [Eb] [Bbm] suspended.
_ _ [Ebm] _ [B] You vanished like a cake.
[Fm] A daydream soft [Db] and clear.
_ _ _ [Gb] _ So [Db] old friend, [Ebm] how's life treating you?
_ [B] Are you well?
Are you [Gb] happy?
[Ab] Am I ever on [Db] your mind?
_ _ _ [Gb] _ The [Db] old friend, [Ebm] how's life treating you?
_ _ [B]
Did you get the [Gb] things you wanted?
[Bb] Did you ever [Gb] have the time?
[B] Did you get the things [Gb] you wanted?
[Ab] Did you [Db] ever have the [Gb] time?
