Sweet Sir Galahad Joan Baez
[verse 1]
[G]Sweet Sir Galahad came [G/F#]in through the window in the ..
[Em]night when the moon was in the [Am]yard.
He [D]took her hand in his and [D7]shook the long hair from his neck
[D7]and he told her she'd been wo[Em]rking much too hard.
[verse 2]
It was [G]true that ever since the [G/F#]day her crazy man had passed
a[Em]way to the land of poet's [Am]pride,
she [D]laughed and talked a lot with [D7]new people on the block
[D7]but always at evening time she [Em]cried.
[Cborus]
[C]And here's to the [Bm]dawn of their [D]days.[D7]
[Break instrumental witb La la vocal]
[G] [G/F#] [Em] [Bm] [C] [Bm] [D] [Em]
[verse 3]
She [G]moved her head a little[G/F#] down on the bed until it..
[Em]rested softly on his k[Am]nee - ee.
And [D]there she dropped her smile and [D7]there she sighed awhile,
[D7]and told him all the sadness of those [Em]years that numbered three.
[verse 4]
Well you [G]know I think my fate's belated '[G/F#]cause of all the hours I waited
[Em]for the day when I'd no longer [Am]cry.
I [D]get myself to work by eight but oh, was I born too late,
[D]and do you think I'll fail at every [Em]single thing I try?
[cborus]
[C]And here's to the [Bm]dawn of their [D]days. [D7]
[verse 5]
[G]He just put his arm around her [G/F#]and that's the way I found her
[Em]eight months later to the [Am]day.
[D]Lines of a smile erased the [D7]tear tracks upon her face,
[D7]a smile that could linger, even [Em]stay.
[Outro]
[G]Sweet Sir Galahad went [Bm7]down with his [Em]gay bride of [Bm]flowers
the [C]prince of the [G]hours of her [D]life[Em]time.
And [C]here's to the [Bm]dawn of their [D]days,
[D7] of their [G]days. [G/F#] [Em]
