(G)Playing (G/F#)stately (Emin)rhythms of the (C)ancient ballad(D)ry.
(G)If I (G/F#)had a (Emin)troubadour, I'd (C)signal with my (D)hand
And he would sing for you,
He would sing for you until you'd (G)smile.
Wish I had a castle clown with bells upon his
hat.
Doing 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.
(Emin)Wish I had a wind I'd bring it (D)by, (D/C) - (D/B) - (D)
A (Emin)gentle western wind to dry your (D)eyes. (D/C) - (D/B) - (D)
A (Emin)southern wind to keep you from your (D)crying,
(D/C) - (D/B) - (D)
I'm still trying.
Wish I had a Royal Ballet, to summon at
my will.
Dancing 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.
Wish I had a wind I'd bring it by,
A gentle western wind to dry your eyes.
A southern wind to keep you from your crying,
I'm still trying.
Wish I had a troubadour sitting 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.
