[VERSE]
On either side of the [F]river [G]lie [C]
Long fields of barley [G/B]and of [Am]rye [F]
That clothe the [C]world and [G/B]meet the [Am]sky [F]
Through the field the [G]road runs by
To [F]many [G]towered [C]Camelot [Am]
And up and down the [G]people [Em]go [Am]
Gazing where the [G]lilies [C]blow [Am]
'Round an island [G]there be[Em]low
The [Am]island of [G]Sha[Am]lott

[VERSE]
[C]Willows whiten, [F]aspens [G]quiver [C]
Little breezes [G/B]dusk and [Am]shiver [F]
Through the [C]wave that [G/B]runs for[Am]ever [F]
By the island [G]in the river
[F]Flowing [G]down to [C]Camelot [Am]
Four grey walls and [G]four grey [Em]towers [Am]
Overlook a [G]space of [C]flowers [Am]
And the silent [G]isle em[Em]bowers
The [Am]Lady of [G]Sha[Am]lott

[VERSE]
[C]Only reapers, [F]reaping [G]early [C]
In among the [G/B]bearded [Am]barley [F]
Hear a [C]song that [G/B]echoes [Am]cheerly [F]
From the river [G]winding clearly
[F]Down to [G]towered [C]Camelot [Am]
And by the moon, the [G]reaper [Em]weary [Am]
Piling sheaves in [G]uplands [C]airy [Am]
Listening, whispers, "'[G]Tis the [Em]fairy
The [Am]Lady of [G]Sha[Am]lott"

[VERSE]
There she weaves by [G]night and [Am]day
A magic web with [G]colours [C]gay [Am]
She has heard a [G]whisper [Am]say
A curse is on her [G]if she [C]stay
To [Am]look down to Cam[G]el[Am]ot
She knows not what the [G]curse may [Em]be [Am]
And so she weaveth [G]steadi[C]ly [Am]
Little other [G]care hath [Em]she
The [Am]Lady of [G]Sha[Am]lott

[VERSE]
And moving through a [G]mirror [Am]clear
There hangs before her [G]all the [C]year [Am]
Shadows of the [G]world ap[Am]pear
There she sees the [G]highway [C]near
[Am]Winding down to Cam[G]el[Am]ot
And sometimes through the [G]mirror [Em]blue [Am]
The knights come riding [G]two and [C]two [Am]
She hath no loyal [G]knight and [Em]true
The [Am]Lady of [G]Sha[Am]lott

[VERSE]
But in her web she [G]still de[Am]lights
To weave the mirror's [G]magic [C]sights [Am]
For often through the [G]silent [Am]nights
A funeral with plumes [G]and with [C]lights
And [Am]music went to Camelot
Or when the moon was [G]over[Em]head [Am]
Came two young lovers [G]lately [C]wed [Am]
"I'm half sick of [G]shadows," she [Em]said
The [Am]Lady of [G]Sha[Am]lott

[VERSE]
A bowshot from her [F]bower [G]eaves [C]
He rode between the [G/B]barley [Am]sheaves [F]
The sun came [C]dazzling [G/B]through the [Am]leave[F]s
And flamed upon the [G]brazen greaves
Of [F]bold Sir [G]Lance[C]lot [Am]
A red cross knight for[G]ever [Em]kneel'd [Am]
To a lady [G]in his [C]shield [Am]
That sparkled on the [G]yellow [Em]field
Be[Am]side remote [G]Sha[Am]lott

[VERSE]
His broad clear brow in [G]sunlight [Am]glowed
On burnished hooves his [G]warhorse [C]trode [Am]
From underneath his [G]helmet [Am]flowed
His coal black curls as [G]on he [C]rode
As he [Am]rode back to Cam[G]el[Am]ot
And from the bank and [G]from the [Em]river [Am]
He flashed into the [G]crystal [C]mirror [Am]
"Tirra Lirra," [G]by the [Em]river
[Am]Sang Sir Lanc[G]el[Am]ot

[VERSE]
[C]She left the web, she [F]left the [G]loom [C]
She made three paces [G/B]through the [Am]room [F]
She saw the [C]water [G/B]lily [Am]bloom [F]
She saw the helmet [G]and the plume
She [F]looked down to [G]Came[C]lot [Am]
Out flew the web and [G]floated [Em]wide [Am]
The mirror cracked from [G]side to [C]side [Am]
"The curse is come u[G]pon me," [Em]cried
The [Am]Lady of [G]Sha[Am]lott

[VERSE]
In the stormy [G]east wind [Am]straining
The pale yellow woods[G] were [C]waning [Am]
The broad stream in his [G]banks com[Am]plaining
Heavily the [G]low sky [C]raining
O[Am]ver towered [G]Came[Am]lot
Down she came and [G]found a [Em]boat [Am]
Beneath a willow [G]left a[C]float [Am]
And round about the [G]prow she [Em]wrote
'The [Am]Lady of [G]Sha[Am]lott'

[VERSE]
Down the river's [G]dim ex[Am]panse
Like some bold seer [G]in a [C]trance [Am]
Seeing all his [G]own mis[Am]chance
With a glassy [G]counte[C]nance
She [Am]looked to [G]Came[Am]lot
And at the closing [G]of the [Em]day [Am]
She loosed the chain and [G]down she [C]lay [Am]
The broad stream bore her [G]far a[Em]way
The [Am]Lady of [G]Sha[Am]lott

[VERSE]
Heard a carol, [F]mournful, [G]holy [C]
Chanted loudly, [G/B]chanted [Am]lowly [F]
'Til her [C]blood was [G/B]frozen [Am]slowly [F]
And her eyes were [G]darkened wholly
[F]Turned to [G]towered [C]Camelot [Am]
For 'ere she reached u[G]pon the [Em]tide [Am]
The first house by the [G]water[C]side [Am]
Singing in her [G]song she [Em]died
The [Am]Lady of [G]Sha[Am]lott

[VERSE]
Under tower and [G]balco[Am]ny
By garden wall and [G]galle[C]ry [Am]
A gleaming shape, she [G]floated [Am]by
Dead pale between the [G]houses [C]high
[Am]Silent into Camelot
And out upon the [G]wharfs they [Em]came [Am]
Knight and burgher, [G]lord and [C]dame [Am]
And 'round the prow[G] they read her [Em]name
'The [Am]Lady of [G]Sha[Am]lott'

Who is this? And [F]what is [G]here? [C]
And in the lighted [G/B]palace [Am]near [F]
Died the [C]sound of [G/B]royal [Am]cheer [F]
They crossed themselves[G] for fear
The [F]Knights at [G]Came[C]lot [F]
[C]Lancelot mused a [F]little [G]space [C]
He said, "She has a [G]lovely [Am]face [C]
God in his mercy lend her [Am]grace
The [F]Lady [G]of Sha[C]lott"
