G5                                      G5  
Sweet Sir Galahad came in through the window 
             E5                                                A5   A5  A5    *  fill 1 
In the night when the moon was in the yard. 
D5                                               (switch between picking open D5 and A5 string) 
Took her hand in his and shook the long hair 
                                                                                                   

                 E5                    
From his neck and he told her she'd been working much to hard. 
             G5                                       G5  
It was true that ever since the day 
                                                          E5                                       A5 
Her crazy man had passed away to the land of poet's pride,  * Fill 1 
           D5 
She laughed and talked a lot with new people on the block, 
                                                              E5  
But always at evening time she cried. 
          C5                        B5                    D5   E5 
And here's to the dawn of their days. 

 *  * BRIDGE Progression (Played with humming after 1st Chorus) 
    G5 ---- G5 ---- E5 ----- B5 ---- C5 ---- B5 ---- A5 ---- E5 


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
