PM______________________________
And all these stupid silly songs
Keep trying to catch your ear
I'm trying desperately
It's just so hard to persevere
And even if you listened
I never had much to say
Cause it's the same old song
I've written for the day
Shelter me oh genius words
Just give me strength
Just to pen these things
And give me peace to well her wings
And oh, oh carry on all you minstrels of the world
We will catch our ladies ear
We will win for us the girl
All these minstrels through the ages
That is really all we are
Simply singing for the girl
That makes us try so very hard
To craft the perfect limerick
To wield unending woe
To write such silly songs
And the difference never know
Shelter me oh genius words
Just give me strength
Just to pen these things
And give me peace to well her wings
And oh, oh carry on all you minstrels of the world
We will catch our ladies ear
We will win for us the girl
And I'll hold on to the dream
Of this beggar's plea and optimistic fantasy
Just hold the hand and drop the knee
You're facing love
You're embracing melody
Shelter me oh genius words
Just give me strength
Just to pen these things
And give me peace to well her wings
And oh, oh carry on all you minstrels of the world
We will catch our ladies ear
We will win for us the girl
And carry on, oh carry on all you minstrels of the world
We will catch our ladies ear
We will win for us the girl

*Note: When playing the chorus chords
anywhere in this song including the outro
you can add a nice ring by using the High
e string on the 3rd fret. It adds in that
nice high pitch like in the song's background.
I strum it like this....
