Chords for Gordon Lightfoot - If You Could Read My Mind (Franklin Electric cover)

[C] This is not a Frank and Electric song, this is a song by a Canadian folk singer by the name of Gordon Lightfoot. _ _ _ _
Let's do it! _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ I could read your mind, [Bb] oh
What it tells, thoughts will tell
[C] _ _ Oh, it's like an old time _
[Bb] movie
Light a ghost from a wishing well
[C] _ _ When it passed so dark _
[F] In a fortress strong
[C] With [G] chains around [Am] my feet
_ [F] But you know this voice [C] is new
_ _ [F] And I don't [C] wanna be set free
[Dm] As long as [G] there's a ghost that you [C] can't see
If _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ [F] _ [C] _ _ I could read your mind, [Gm] oh
What it tells, thoughts will tell
[C] _ _ Just like a paperback [Bb] novel
[Gm] The [Bb] kind that the drugstore sells
[C] _ When you reach the part
[F] Where the heartache comes
And [C] the hero [Am] would be me
[F] But heroes [C] are big things
_ And [F] she won't read [C] that book again _
[Dm] Because the [G] ending's just too hard [C] to take
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _
[Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] And I walk away
_ [E]
[F] Like a movie star
[C] Who gets found in a three [Am]-way strip
_ [F] And turns out to [C] be the sooner
_ _ [F] Movie queen [C] that can play the scene
_ [Dm] _ Bringing all [G] the good things out [Am] in me
But [F] for now, love, [C] let's leave _
I [F] never thought I [Am] could act this way
[Dm] But I've got to say [G] that I just don't get [F] it
I don't know [C] where we went wrong
[Dm] The feeling's gone and [G] I just can't get [C] it back _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ If _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I could read your mind, [Bb] oh
_ What it tells, thoughts will tell
[C] _ _ Just like an old-time [Bb] movie
About a ghost in a [G] wish-shedding way
_ [C] _ In a castle dark, [F] in a fortress strong
[Fm] With [G] chains around [Am] my feet
_ [F] But you know this ghost [C] is me
_ [F] But if you'd read [C] between the lines
[Dm] You'd know that I'm [G] just trying to [Am] understand _
[F] The feeling _ [C] that's in line
[F] I never thought [C] I could feel this [Dm] way
But I've got to say [G] that I just don't get [F] it
I don't know [C] where we went wrong
[Dm] The feeling's gone [G] and I just can't get [C] it back _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Thank you, [E] guys. _ _ _ _
