Sweet Sir Galahad (Joan Baez)
G | | | | Em | | | | |
Sweet | Sir | Galahad | came | in | through | the | window | In |
| G | | | | | | | Am | D |
the | night | when | the | moon | was | in | the | yard. | Took |
her | hand | in | his | and | shook | the | long | hair | From | his |
| | | Em | | | | C | | |
neck | and | he | told | her | she'd | been | working | much | to |
| | G | | | | | Em | | |
It | was | true | that | ever | since | the | day | Her | crazy |
| | | | G | | | | | | Am |
man | had | passed | a | way | to | the | land | of | poet's | pride, |

She | laughed | and | talked | a | lot | with | new | people | on |
the | block, | But | always | at | evening | time | she |
Em | G | | | C | | | G | | |
cried | | . | And | here's | to | the | dawn | of | their |
| G | | | | | Em | | | |
She | moved | her | head | a | little | down | on | the | bed |
| | G | | | | Am | D | |
Until | it | rested | softly | on | his | knee. | There | she |
|
|
dropped | her | smile | and | there | she | sat | awhile, | Told |
| | | | | | Em | | C |

| | | | | | G | | | | |
of | all | the | hours | I | waited | For | the | day | when | I'd |
| | Am | D | | | | | | |
no | longer | cry. | Get | myself | to | work | by | eight, | well |
oh, | was | I | born | too | late? | Do | you | think | I'll | fail |
| | Em | | | G | | C | | |
at | every | single | thing | I | try? | And | here's | to | the |
| G | | | | | | | Em | |
Well, | he | just | put | his | arm | around | her | and | that's |
| | | | | G | | | | |
the | way | I | found | her | Eight | months | later | to | the |
Am | D | | | | | | | |
day. | Lines | of | a | smile | erased | the | tear | tracks |
| | | | | | | Em | C |

Sweet | Sir | Galahad | went | down | with | his | gay | bride |

of | flowers, | The | prince | of | the | hours | of | her |
D | Em | | C | | | G | | | D |
life | time. | And | here's | to | the | dawn | of | their | days, |
