Sweet Sir Galahad came in through the window 
             Em                                                Am   Am(sus)  Am    *  fill 1 
In the night when the moon was in the yard. 
D                                               (switch between picking open D and A string) 
Took her hand in his and shook the long hair 
                                                                                                   

                 Em                    
From his neck and he told her she'd been working much to hard. 
             G                                       G7/Gb  
It was true that ever since the day 
                                                          Em                                       Am 
Her crazy man had passed away to the land of poet's pride,  * Fill 1 
           D 
She laughed and talked a lot with new people on the block, 
                                                              Em  
But always at evening time she cried. 
          C                        B5                    D   Em 
And here's to the dawn of their days.

She moved her head a little down on the bed 
Until it rested softly on his knee. *Fill 1 
There she dropped her smile and there she sat awhile, 
Told him all the sadness of those years that numbered three. 

Well you know I think my fate's belated 'cause of all the hours I waited 
For the day when I'd no longer cry. *Fill 1  
Get myself to work by eight, well oh, was I born too late? 
Do you think I'll fail at every single thing I try? 
And here's to the dawn of their days. 

Well, he just put his arm around her and that's the way I found her 
Eight months later to the day.  *Fill 1 
Lines of a smile erased the tear tracks upon her face, 
The smile that could linger even stayed. 

**(Play BRIDGE Progression) ** 
Sweet Sir Galahad went down 
With his gay bride of flowers 
The prince of the hours 
Of her lifetime
