Chords for Sir Gawain and the Green Knight

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ _ _ New Year's Day, _ _ dawning wet on Britain's [C] shore,
_ [A] _ _ _ King's Hall roused [Am] by a pounding on door.
_ _ [A] A giant knight, dressed in [A] green, never seen before,
Heads or axe and holds it high and lets a challenge roar.
[Am] You craven men may fear dishonor, [A] but you fear my vengeance [Am] _ more. _ _
[C] _ That's [A] fear that chills you like a race,
[C] And it's [D] doubt you gird [Am] about your waist.
[C] It's [A] prayer the man will [Am] hold to face [C] _ [D] _ me in [Em] war.
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
[C] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] Sir Galway, _ _ Aegon Prince of [Am] Northern Isles,
_ _ [A] _ _ Shouted shame on you [Am] brothers, on your silence.
_ [A] _ He held the axe and struck it as low as the giant's low,
Raised his head and held it high and met the giant's eye,
And cried, I'll meet your vengeance in a [C] year and we'll see [A] we'll die.
And you are I.
_ _ [C] That's fear [D] that chills you [A] like a race,
[C] And it's doubt [A] you gird [Am] about your waist.
[C] It's [A] prayer the man will hold to face [C] _ _ [A] me in [Em] war.
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ [D] _ [A] _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ [D] _ [A] _ _ _ Summer gone, _ _ and Galway leaves [Am] upon his quest,
[A] _ _ _ _ Five-point star, sign of faith upon his chest.
_ [Am] Seeks his foe, travels west not knowing where [A] to go,
No clue until a baroness has promised a due show,
But only if he stay as guest within about three days more or less. _
_ _ [C] That's [A] fear that chills you [Am] like a race,
[C] And it's doubt you [A] gird about [A]
your waist.
[C] It's [A] prayer the man will hold to face [C] _ _ [D] me in [Em] war.
_ _ [E] _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ She plays the [C] maid, _ [A] _ but vain the baroness' [Am]
hope,
_ _ _ _ [A] Galway's not swayed, another lady holds his hope.
_ _ She [Am] offers body, offers land, but each man's his herd.
She puts a belt into [A] his hand, a gift of [A] magic earned by constancy,
In face [Am] of all temptation, to his gift.
_ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ [C] That's fear [A] that chills you like a race,

_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
[Am] _ _ [D] _ [A] _ _ New Year's Day, _ _ dawning wet on Britain's shore,
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ Galway meets the same green knight once more.
_ _ A man who laughs and gives his [A] hand instead of challenge me,
Galway at last perceives his god and bends a reverent knee.
[Am] Taking where my lady's felt, [G] the green man [A] mildly cries,
And say to it, you serve us well in all paths of life,
Be constant and be faithful, _ [C] wear that belt [D] for all [A] to see,
_ [C] That a man [A] came here for [Am] justice, and [C] left here blessed [Em] by me.
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
Left here [E] [A] blessed by me. _ _ _
