C                       F        G     C
Who's gonna throw that minstrel boy a coin?
             F      C
Who's gonna let it roll?
C             Em        F        G     C
Who's gonna throw that minstrel boy a coin?
             F           C       G7       C
Who's gonna let it down easy to save his soul?

     F        C        F          C
Oh, Lucky's drivin' a long, long time
     F         C       G
And now he's stuck on top of the hill.
 F                   C           F                 C
With twelve forward gears, it's been a long hard climb,
         F            C                    G
And with all of them ladies, though, he's lonely still.

Who's gonna throw that minstrel boy a coin?
Who's gonna let it roll?
Who's gonna throw that minstrel boy a coin?
Who's gonna let it down easy to save his soul?

Well, he deep in number and heavy in toil,
Mighty Mockingbird, he still has such a heavy load.
Beneath his bound'ries, what more can I tell,
With all of his trav'lin', but I'm still on that road.

Who's gonna throw that minstrel boy a coin?
Who's gonna let it roll?
Who's gonna throw that minstrel boy a coin?
Who's gonna let it down easy to save his soul?
