I'd [Bm] like to start off, seems appropriate at this point, with Sir Galahad, which is a song I sang, thank you, last year [Bb] for Mimi and [B] Mylon, and Mylon in this song is [B] Sir Galahad.
Sweet Sir Galahad came in through the window in the [Abm] night when the moon was in the [Dbm] eye.
He [Gb] took her hand in his and shook the long hair from his neck and he told her [Abm] she'd been working much too hard.
It [B] was true that ever [B] since the day her crazy man had passed [Abm] away to the land of poets' [Dbm] pride.
[Gb] She laughed and talked a lot with [Gb] new people on the block, but always at evening [Abm] time she cried.
[E] And here's [Abm] to the [Ebm] dawn [Gb] of their days.
[B] La la dee [Gb] dee dee dee dee, la [Abm] la la, [Ebm]
[E] [B]
la [Gb] la la.
[Abm]
[B] She moved her head a little down on the bed [Abm] until it rested softly on [Dbm] his knee.
[Gb] There she dropped her smile and there she sighed a while, told him all the sadness [Abm] of those years that numbered three.
Well you [B] know I think my fate's [B] belated cause of all the hours I waited [Abm] for the day when I'd no longer [Dbm] cry.
[Gb] I'd get myself to work by eight but oh was I born too late and do you think I'll fail at every single thing I try.
[E] And here's [Ebm] to the dawn [Gb] of their days.
[B] He just put his arm around [B]
her and that's the way I [Abm] found her eight months later to the [Dbm] day.
The [Gb] lines of a smile erased the tear tracks upon her face, a smile that could linger even stay.
[Bb] [B] Sweet Sir Galahad went [Gb] down with his [Abm] gares, [Ebm]
[E] the prince [B] of the hours [Gb] of her [Abm] lifetime.
[E] And here's [Ebm] to the dawn [Gb] of their days, [B] of their days.
