IF YOU COULD READ MY MIND

(BAR)-Gordon Lightfoot

4/4 1...2...1234

Intro:

If you could read my mind, love,

what a tale my thoughts could tell

Just like an old-time movie,

'bout a ghost from a wishin' well

In a castle dark or a fortress strong, with chains upon my feet, you know that ghost is me

And I will never be set free, as long as I'm a ghost that you can't see

If I could read your mind, love,

what a tale your thoughts could tell

Just like a paperback novel.

the kind the drugstores sell

When you reach the part where the heartaches come, the hero would be me, but heroes often fail

And you won't read that book again, be-cause the ending's just too hard to take

Instrumental:

I'd walk a-way like a movie star who gets burned in a three-way script, enter number two
