Intro: F Am G Em F  Am G F Em   Am G Em F  Am G Am 
  
                     G             Em          F 
There's a love in my life, neither mistress or wife  
        Am                 G              F   Em 
And she waits for me every morning by the sea  
          Am           G              Em            F 
Where the fishing hawk wheels and the sun warms the seals  
          Am                 G             Am 
There she lays at her silent anchorage for me  
  
  
                    G               Em            F 
She is fine, she is fleet, she will run, reach or beat  
       Am          G               F     Em 
With a song in her rigging and her sails  
         Am     G             Em        F 
And when day is done, we will lay-to as one  
    Am                       G             Am 
And sleep 'neath the rolling rhythm of the stars  
  
  
Chorus: 
       F     Em          F       C 
And we sail away, off to Jericho Bay 
          Am          D7            G 
Where the blue of the sea meets the sky  
        F             Em           F              C 
And the song that she sings me, it brings me such peace  
         Am           D7        G 
When the seas rise up angry and high  
        F                   C         Cmaj7   C 
She's a friend of mine, The Minstrel  
  
  
          Am           G            Em        F 
There are loons off to port and the porpoises sport  
       Am           G                  F     Em 
In her wake, as she breaks the rolling main  
         Am              G              Em           F 
And with the wind in her sails, we will run with the whales  
        Am                         G           Am 
As they swim through their dark, diminishing domain  
  
  
Chorus: 
       F     Em          F       C 
And we sail away, off to Jericho Bay 
          Am          D7            G 
Where the blue of the sea meets the sky 
        F        Em           F              C 
And the song she sings me, it brings me such peace  
         Am           D7        G 
When the seas rise up angry and high  
        F                   C         Cmaj7   C 
She's a friend of mine, The Minstrel
