Nghệ sĩ: Don McLean
Hợp Âm Chuẩn
Verse 1→ Phiên khúc
ch]G[/ch
If you could read my mind, love,
ch]F[/ch
What a tale my thoughts could tell.
ch]G[/ch
Just like an old time movie,
ch]F[/ch
Bout a ghost from a wishing well.
ch]G[/ch] [ch]G7/B[/ch
In a castle dark,
ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch
Or a fortress strong, with chains upon my feet.
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
You know that ghost is me,
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G/B[/ch
And I will never be set free,
ch]A7sus[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
As long as I'm a ghost that you can't see.
Verse 2→ Phiên khúc
ch]G[/ch
If I could read your mind, love,
ch]F[/ch
What a tale your thoughts could tell.
ch]G[/ch
Just like a paperback novel,
ch]F[/ch
The kind the drugstores sell.
ch]G[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch
Then you reached the part
ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch
Where the heartaches come, the hero would be me.
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
But heroes often fail.
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
And you won't read that book again,
ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch
Because the ending's just too hard to take.
ch]G[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch
I'd walk away
ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch
Like a movie star, who gets burned in a three-way script.
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Enter number two:
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
A movie queen to play the scene
ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch
Of bringing all the good things out in me
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
But for now, love, let's be real.
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
I never thought, I could act this way.
ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
And I've got to say that I just don't get it.
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
I don't know where we went wrong,
ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
But the feeling's gone, and I just can't get it back.
Verse 3→ Phiên khúc
ch]G[/ch
If you could read my mind love
ch]F[/ch
What a tale my thoughts could tell
ch]G[/ch
Just like an old time movie
ch]F[/ch
Bout a ghost from a wishing well
ch]G[/ch] [ch]G7[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
ch]D[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch
With chains upon my feet
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
But stories always end
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G/B[/ch
And if you read between the lines
ch]A7sus[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch
You'll know that I'm just trying to understand
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
The feelings that you lack
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G/B[/ch
I never thought I could feel this way
ch]A7sus[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
And I've got to say that I just don't get it
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G/B[/ch
I don't know where we went wrong
ch]A7sus[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
But the feelings gone and I just can't get it back
