VERSE
[G] [G]Sweet Sir Galahad came [G7M]in
In the middle of the [Em]night
Am (Switch between Am and Asus2 here)
When the moon was in the yard
FILL 1
E--0---------------------------| B-----3--1--0h1p0-----0--0h1---| G------------------2-----------| D------------------------------| A------------------------------| E------------------------------|
D(switch between picking open D and A string)
Took her hand in his and
Shook the long hair from his neck
Em (Switch picking the open E and 2nd fretted A string)
And he told her she'd been working much too hard
play VERSE progression
It was true that ever since the day
Her crazy man had passed away
To the land of poet's pride
(FILL 1)
She laughed and talked a lot
With new people on the block
But always at evening time she cried
CHORUS
[C]And heres to the [B]dawm
Of their [D]days
BRIDGE Progression (Played with humming after 1st Chorus)
G----G7M----Em-----B----C----B----Am----Em
VERSE 3 & 4
She moved her head a little down
On the bed until it rested
Softly on his knee
(FILL 1)
There, she dropped her smile
And there, she sighed a while
And told him all the sadness of those years
That numbered three
Well ya know I think my fates belated
'Cuz of all the hours I waited for
The day, when I'd no longer cry
(FILL 1)
Get myself to work by eight
But oh was I born too late
And doo you think Ill fail
At every single thing I try
CHORUS
(Play regular VERSE progression ONCE)
He just put his arm around her
And that's the way I found her
Eight months later to the day
(FILL 1)
Lines of a smile erased
The tear tracks upon her face
A smile that could linger, even stay
(Play BRIDGE Progression)
Sweet Sir Galahad went down
With his gay bride of flowers
The prince of the hours
Of her lifetime
CHORUS
OUTRO
G----G7M----Em
