D On either side of the G river A lie
D Long fields of A barley F#m and of Bm rye,
G That clothe the D world and A meet the Bm sky;
G And thro' the field the r A oad run by
G To many-t A owered D Camelot;
Bm And up and down the F#m people go,
Bm Gazing w G here the l A ilies F#m blow
Bm Round an island F#m there below,
The i G sland A of Sha Bm lott.
D A bow-shot from her b G ower-e A aves,
D He rode bet A ween the b F#m arley sh Bm eaves,
G The sun came d D azzling th A ro' the le Bm aves,
G And flamed upon the br A azen greaves
Of b G old Sir L A ancel D ot.
Bm A red-cross knight for F#m ever kneel'd
Bm To a l G ady A in his F#m shield,
Bm That sparkled on the F#m yellow field,
G Beside rem A ote Shal Bm ott.
D She left the web, she le G ft the lo A om,
D She made three p A aces t F#m aro' the r Bm oom,
G She saw the w D ater-li A ly bl Bm oom,
G She saw the helmet a A nd the plume,
She l G ooked down to C A amel D ot.
Bm Out flew the web and F#m floated wide;
Bm The mirror c G racked from s A ide to s F#m ide;
Bm "The curse is come F#m upon me," cried
The L G ady o A f Shal Bm ott.
Bridge: (Bm - F#m - Bm - G - D - A) x2
Bm In the stormy e F#m ast-wind straining,
G The pale yellow woods A were w F#m aning,
Bm The broad stream in his F#m banks complaining.
G Heavily the l A ow sky raining
G Over t A owered C Bm amelot;
Down she came and F#m found a boat
Bm Beneath a w G illow l A eft a F#m float,
Bm And round about the F#m prow she wrote
The L G ady o A f Sha Bm lott.
D Who is this? And w G hat is h A ere?
D And in the l A ighted p F#m alace n Bm ear
G Died the s D ound of r A oyal ch Bm eer;
G And they crossed thems A elves for fear,
G All the Knights A at Camel D ot;
D But Lancelot mused a l G ittle sp A ace
D He said, "She h A as a lo F#m vely f Bm ace;
G God in his m D ercy le A nd her g Bm race,
The L G ady o A f Shal D ott."
