            D               G
From the ancient sun to the old heart stove
           A    D    A D
come the troubadours
D         Bm                G           A
From the city gates to the castle walls it's
              D A D
the troubadours
     Em                 F#m
On a sunlit day it was bright and clear
         G                             A
And the people came from far and they came
from near
               D
To hear the troubadours

Well, the troubadours sang their songs of love to
the lady fair
She was sitting outside on a balcony in the clear
night air
It was a starry night and the moon was shining
bright
And the trumpets rang and they gave a chime
For the troubadours (Troubadours)

And for every man all across the land and
from shore to shore
They come singin' songs of love and chivalry
from the days of yore
Baby, lift your window high, do you hear
that sound?
It's the troubadours as they go through town
(Troubadours)
With their freedom song

Oh, baby lift your window high, did you
hear that sound?
It's the troubadours with their freedom song
(Troubadours)
Baby, baby, baby lift your window high,
turn your lamp down low
Oh baby, don't you know I love you so?
(Troubadours)
Do you hear that sound? Do you dig that sound?
It's the troubadours coming through town
