If You Could Read My Mind - chords, tab and comments
A prolific songwriter, Gordon Lightfoot has only had a couple of major hits himself - this one (1971) and "Cold on the Shoulder" (1975). Funny, but he's been covered with success by artists from Anne Murray to Elvis Presley. A considerated assortment of his approximately 500 registered titles belong to any busker's songbook, as well as mine.
