G             C               D 
He'd sing his song most every night  
G               C                D 
Wishing she was there behind the light  
G          C                D 
The people danced and sang along 
       G                  C             D    D7 
On the cardboard stage he never sang it wrong 

D       G     C         D 
And the piper plays the tune 
        G       C        D 
And the drummer wore his spurs 
        G             B7     Em   G       D   D7 
But the song that the singer sang was for her 

G                C             D 
Now the singer's song is never heard 
G                       C            D 
And the visions he once saw are disappeared  
G              C              D 
Now they never dance or sing along 
           G                  C             D    D7 
But on the cardboard stage he never sang it wrong  

D       G     C         D 
And the piper plays the tune 
        G       C        D 
And the drummer wore his spurs 
        G             B7     Em   G       D   D7 
But the song that the singer sang was for her
