10 Mar 11 - 11:38 AM (#3111133) Subject: Lyr Add: WISH I HAD A TROUBADOUR (Tom Paxton) From: alex s WISH I HAD A TROUBADOUR Words and Music by Tom Paxton Wish I had a troubadour a-sittin' by my knee, Playing stately rhythms of the ancient balladry. If I had a troubadour, I'd signal with my hand And he would sing for you. He would sing for you until you'd smile. [Cho:] Wish I had a wind I'd bring it by. A gentle western wind to dry your eye. A southern wind to keep you from your cryin', I'm still tryin'. Wish I had a castle clown with bells upon his hat, Doin' tricks and somersaults, you'd have to laugh at that. If I had a castle clown, I'd call him to your side, And he'd do tricks for you. He'd do tricks for you until you'd smile. [Cho:] Wish I had a Royal Ballet, to summon at my will. Dancin' by the candlelight, some lovely old quadrille. If I had a Royal Ballet I'd signal with a nod, And they would dance for you, They would dance for you until you'd smile. [Cho:] [Repeat Verse 1] |

These are more or less the chords that Tom Paxton uses but transposed for a suitable personal key to my voice : Wish I had a Troubadour Words and Music by Tom Paxton A F#m D A Wish I had a troubadour a-sittin' by my knee, A F#m Bm7 E7 Playing stately rhythms of the ancient balladry. A F#m Bm7 E7 If I had a troubadour, I'd signal with my hand E E7 And he would sing for you. E7 E He would sing for you until you'd smile. [Cho:] A E E7 Wish I had a wind I'd bring it by. A C#m Bm E A gentle western wind to dry your eye. A Bm A southern wind to keep you from your cryin', Bm E I'm still tryin'. Wish I had a castle clown with bells upon his hat, Doin' tricks and somersaults, you'd have to laugh at that. If I had a castle clown, I'd call him to your side, And he'd do tricks for you. He'd do tricks for you until you'd smile. [Cho:] Wish I had a Royal Ballet, to summon at my will. Dancin' by the candlelight, some lovely old quadrille.
