Capo 3
(G)Lancelot (C)rode on a (D)swayback (G)mare
He (Em)won in a (C)card game up (G)north some(D)where
He was (Em)bottom-out (Bm)lonesome, (C)he was too tired to (Em)care
Keepin (C)one step ahead of the (D)rain
Well he (G)blew into (C)Broken Bow (D)late last (G)year
(Em)Talkin up the (C)vision of his (G)lost Guine(D)vere
But he (Em)couldn't tell a (Bm)grail from a (C)glass of (Am7)beer
So he (C)settled for (D)Lady E(G)laine
He sang "(D)Yodelayhee (C)I ain't no untarnished (G)Galahad
(C)Down from (C/B)Arcadia like a (D)dream in your (G)head
But (D)gentle lady (C)lend me the true heart I (G)never had
And (C)I'll wash the (C/B)years from your (Am7)bed (D)
With (C)all the salt tears I have (D)shed," Lancelot (G)said (C)(D)
(G)(C)(D)
Well, (G)mornin came (C)sleepy and (D)mornin came (G)slow
And the (Em)mirror re(C)vealed a face (G)she didn't (D)know
And the (Em)last autumn (Bm)robin was (C)packin to (Em)go
As an(C)other year slipped by the (D)way
So she (G)rose and she (C)dressed and she (D)pushed back the (G)night
She (Em)put up her (C)hair by the (G)dawn's early (D)light
And the (Em)man in her (Bm)bed was an (C)eagle in (Am7)flight
And a (C)crooked old (D)crow in the (G)hay
He sang "(D)Yodelayhee (C)I ain't no untarnished (G)Galahad
(C)Down from (C/B)Arcadia like a (D)dream in your (G)head
But (D)gentle lady (C)lend me the true heart I (G)never had
And (C)I'll stain the (C/B)lavenders (Am7)red (D)
With (C)all of this good blood I (D)shed," Lancelot (G)said (C)(D)
(G)(C)(D) . . . 3x
So (G)bugles blow (C)golden and (D)banners fly (G)blue
But (Em)these days the (C)castle's just (G)drywall and (D)glue
And (Em)tiltin at (Bm)windmills is the (C)best you can (Em)do
With the (C)black knight of time on your (D)lawn
So (G)I wouldn't (C)know if he (D)left or he (G)stayed
(Em)Prospered or (C)starved by the (G)promise he (D)made
Or (Em)maybe he (Bm)straggled and (C)maybe he (Am7)strayed
While the (C)bright world went (D)barrellin (G)on
Singin "(D)Yodelayhee (C)I ain't no untarnished (G)Galahad
(C)Down from (C/B)Arcadia like a (D)dream in your (G)head
But (D)gentle lady (C)lend me the true heart I (G)never had
And (C)I'll bring you (C/B)roses and (Am7)bread (D)
And (C)we'll fashion gold out of (D)lead
With (C)all the illusions we (D)shed," Lancelot said
(G)(C)(D) . . .(G)(C)(D)
