_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
called Sweet Sir Galahad.
It's the only song that I've ever written that I sing
anywhere outside of the bathtub because I'm just smart enough to know that my
writing is very mediocre.
But anyhow this is about my brother-in-law who has very
long hair and he married my sister Mimi after the death of her husband a few
years back, Richard Frenia, whom some of you remember.
_ _ [B] _ _ _ [G] _ _
And the images conjured up in
this funny little song are simply that [B] I watched him come courting and when he
did he used to come in the middle of the night through her bedroom window feet first. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Abm] _ _ _ _ [Dbm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Abm] _ He was a young man who was working much too _ hard.
[B] It was true that ever since [Ebm] the day her crazy man [Abm] had passed away to the land of poets' [Dbm] pride. _ _ _ _
She [Gb] laughed and talked a lot with [Gb] new people on the block but always at evening time [Abm] she _ cried.
_ _ _ [E] And in _ [Ebm] _ _ _ [Gb] of their _ _ _ _ _ [B] days, la la dee dee dee _ dee, [Abm] _ _
_ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ dee [B] dee dee [Gb] dee, la da da.
_ _ [Abm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] She moved her head a little down on the bed until [Abm] it rested softly [Dbm] on his knees.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Gb]
There she dropped her smile and there she sighed a while, told him all the sadness [Abm] of those years that numbered three.
_ _ [B] Well you know I think my fate's belated cause of all the hours [Abm] I waited for the day when I'd no longer [Dbm] cry.
_ _ _ _ _ [Gb]
Get myself to work by eight but oh was I born too late.
Do you think I'll fail [Abm] at every single thing I try?
_ _ [E] And in the _
[Ebm] _ dawn [Gb] of their _ days _ _ _ [B] he just put his arm around her and that's the way I [Abm] found her.
Eight months later to the [Dbm] _ day, _ _ _ _ [Gb]
lines of a smile erased the tear tracks upon her face, a smile that could linger [Abm] even stay. _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ Sweet Sir [Gb] Galahad went down [Abm] with his gay, _ _ [Ebm] _
_ _ _ [E] the prince [B] of the _ hours [Gb] of her _ _ [Abm]
lifetime. _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] And in _ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ [Gb]
of their _ _ _ _ days, [B]
of their _ [Ebm] _ days.
