If you could read my mind - Gordon Lightfoot  1970 

CAPO OP 2 

Intro: 
G – Gadd9 - G - Gadd9 

G                          
If you could read my mind, love
Dm6/F            
What a tale my thoughts could tell
G
Just like an old time movie
Dm6/F               
'bout a ghost from a wishin' well

G           G7        C               
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
     D              Em 
With chains upon my feet
    C                  G 
You know that ghost is me
    C            G/B      
And I will never be set free
   Am7            D                    G  - Gadd9 – G 
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 that 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
Because the ending's just too hard to take 

G                    C 
I'd walk away like a movie star
         D                     Em 
Who gets burned in a three way script
C            G 
Enter number two
  C              G/B     
A movie queen to play the scene
   Am7              D                  Em 
Of bringing all the good things out in me

        C                  G 
But for now love, let's be real
  C                     G/B 
I never thought I could feel this way
         Am7            D 
And I've got to say that I just don't get it
C                  G/B      
I don't know where we went wrong
        Am7               D                 G 
But the feeling's gone and I just can't get it back 

G
