The Bard is Dying Words and music by Edric McKinney © 05 Feb 2024G C I could sing you songs of love Am D Or melodies of war G C I could tell you fairy tales Am D Until your ears are sore Em C I could do this all for you Am D This is my trade of choice G C But I can barely lift my head C D G Or let alone my voice G C The wandering bard is dying G D The bard is bleeding out G C I'd like to share my songs with you C D G But you'll have to do without G C I see you gathering all around Am D Like many times before G C I know my wit and charm are famed Am D In legend, myth, and lore Em C But please refrain from pushing close Am D No autographs I'll sign G C Just bring some bandages and fetch C D G A brand new jug of wine G C The wandering bard is dying G D The bard is bleeding out G C I'd like to share my songs with you C D G But you'll have to do without G C Don't drag me out the tavern door Am D You're tearing my new coat G C The twit who said I sound like shit Am D Should be the one to go Em C I didn't start the fight Am D And I won't soothe your sorry ass G C When you find my body in the street C D G From more than just a scratch G C The wandering bard is dying G D The bard is bleeding out G C I'd like to share my songs with you C D G But you'll have to do without
