Sweet Sir Galahad (Joan Baez 1969)
C
Sweet Sir Galahad
Em
Came in through the window
Am
In the night when
Dm
The moon was in the young.
G
He took her hand in his
And shook the long hair
G7
From his neck and he told her
Am
She'd been working much too hard.
C Em
It was true that ever since the day
Am
Her crazy man had passed away
Dm
To the land of poet's pride,
G
She laughed and talked a lot
With new people on the block
G7 Am
But always at evening time she cried.
F C G G7
And here's to the dawn of their days.
C Em Am Em F C G Am
La la di di di di di...
C
She moved her head
Em
A little down on the bed
Am Dm
Until it rested softly on his knees.
G
And there she dropped her smile
And there she sat awhile
G7
And told him all the sadness
Am
Of those years that numbered three.
C
Well you know I think my fate's belated
Em
Because of all the hours I waited
Am Dm
For the day when I'd no longer cry.
G
I get myself to work by eight
But oh, was I born too late,
G7
And do you think I'll fail
Am
At every single thing I try?
F C G G7
And here's to the dawn of their days.
C Em Am Em F C G Am
La la di di di di di...
C
But he just put his arm around her
Em
And that's the way I found her
Am Dm
Eight months later to the day.
G
The lines of a smile erased
The tear tracks upon her face,
G7 Am
A smile could linger, even stayed.
C Em
Sweet Sir Galahad went down
Am Em
With his gay bride of flowers,
F C
The prince of the hours
G Am
Of her lifetime.
F C
And here's to the Dawn
G G7
Of their days,
C Em Am Em F C G Am
La la di di di di di...
F C G G7 (fine)
La di di di di di di di
