"The Minstrel" - Dan Fogelberg 1993

The B/A at the end of the chorus is just moving the 002220 up two frets to 
004440, but add the F# if you want it (004442), I like the open E myself.

          F#m        E             C#m          D 
There's a love in my life, neither mistress nor wife

        F#m                E              D      C#m
And she waits for me every morning by the sea

          F#m          E               C#m           D  
Where the fishing hawk wheels, and the sun warms the seals

          F#m                E             F#m
There she lays at her silent anchorage for me.

She is fine, she is fleet, she will run, reach or beat
With a song in her rigging and her sails
And when day is done, we will lay to as one
And sleep 'neath the rolling rhythm of the stars


Chorus:

       D      C#m        Bm      A
And we sail away  off to Jericho Bay

          F#m         B             E
Where the blue of the sea meets the sky

        D              C#m          Bm             A
And the songs that she sings me, it brings me such peace

         F#m           B         E 
When the waves rise up angry and high

        D                   A         B/A    A    B/A
She's a friend of mine, the Minstrel

There are loons off to port, and the porpoises sport
In her wake as she breaks the rolling main
And with the wind in her sails, we will run with the whales
As they swin through their dark, diminishing domain
