If you could read my mind by Gordon Lightfoot just have anyone have an arrangement they can share either in the key of C or G but preferably C
%chorus
[G]If you could read my mind, love
[F]What a tale my thoughts could tell
[G]Just like an old time movie
[F]'bout a ghost from a wishing-well
%1
[G]In a castle [G7]dark or a [C]fortress strong
With [D]chains upon my [Em]feet
You [C]know that ghost is [G]me
And [C]I will never [G]be set free
As [C]long as I'm a [D]ghost you can't [G]see
%chorus
[G]If I could read your mind, love
[F]What a tale your thoughts could tell
[G]Just like a paperback novel
[F]The kind that drugstores sell
%2
[G]When you reach the [G7]part where the [C]heartaches come
The [D]hero would be [Em]me
But [C]heroes often [G]fail
And [G]you won't read that [G]book again
Be[C]cause the ending's [D]just too hard to [G]take
%3
[G]I'd walk away like a [C]movie star
Who gets [D]burned in a three way [Em]script
And [C]enter number [G]two
A [C]movie queen to [G]play the scene
Of [C]bringing all the [D]good things out in [Em]me
But for [C]now, love, let's be [G]real
%bridge
I [C]never thought I could [G]act this way
And I've [C]got to say that I [D]just don't get it
[C]I don't know where [G]we went wrong
But the [C]feeling's gone
And I [D]just can't get it [G]back

The [C]story always [G]ends
And [C]I you read be[G]tween the lines
You'll [C]know that I'm just [D]tryin' to unders[Em]tand
The [C]feelin' that you [G]left

I [C]never thought I could [G]feel this way

So in that tuning what chords are you playing? Are you strumming it or fingerpicking it and if you are fingerpicking what is the pattern? If you have a print out of your arrangement in that tuning I would love to see it
