E                  E
Dogs are barkin', birds are chirpin'
    E                       E
the only thing better is if I were squirtin'
        A                          E
there's no one here to love on me today
         F#   A         E
for the maidens on holiday
         F#   A         E

verse 2= i'm a sorry sorry knight in a horrible castle
         hopin' to avoid certain societal hassles
         but i know what they say, that i ain't made of clay
         for the maidens on holiday, yeah the maidens on holiday

F#
I ain't nothin' but chivalrous
B
ain't never been nothing nasty between us
F#
she knows where she stands
B                 A              
on the heart of a broken man

         E
verse 3= it's gonna be bad no matter what
         so i might as well go on ahead and act like a butt
