Lady Of Shalott

Intro: D - G - D - G - D - A - D D G A On either side of the river lie D A F#m Bm Long fields of barley and of rye, G D A Bm That clothe the world and meet the sky; G A And thro' the field the road run by G A D To many-towered Camelot; Bm F#m And up and down the people go, Bm G A F#m Gazing where the lilies blow Bm F#m Round an island there below, G A Bm The island of Shalott. D G A A bow-shot from her bower-eaves, D A F#m Bm He rode between the barley sheaves, G D A Bm The sun came dazzling thro' the leaves, G A And flamed upon the brazen greaves G A D Of bold Sir Lancelot. Bm F#m A red-cross knight for ever kneel'd Bm G A F#m To a lady in his shield, Bm F#m That sparkled on the yellow field, G A Bm Beside remote Shalott. D G A She left the web, she left the loom, D A F#m Bm She made three paces taro' the room, G D A Bm She saw the water-lily bloom, G A She saw the helmet and the plume, G A D She looked down to Camelot. Bm F#m Out flew the web and floated wide; Bm G A F#m The mirror cracked from side to side; Bm F#m "The curse is come upon me," cried G A Bm The Lady of Shalott. Bridge: (Bm - F#m - Bm - G - D - A) x2 Bm F#m In the stormy east-wind straining, G A F#m The pale yellow woods were waning, Bm F#m The broad stream in his banks complaining. G A Heavily the low sky raining G A Bm Over towered Camelot; F#m Down she came and found a boat Bm G A F#m Beneath a willow left afloat, Bm F#m And round about the prow she wrote G A Bm The Lady of Shalott. D G A Who is this? And what is here? D A F#m Bm And in the lighted palace near G D A Bm Died the sound of royal cheer; G A And they crossed themselves for fear, G A D All the Knights at Camelot; D G A But Lancelot mused a little space D A F#m Bm He said, "She has a lovely face; G D A Bm God in his mercy lend her grace, G A D The Lady of Shalott."
