Lancelot and Guinevere

C - F C

1. Is there anyone who’s never dreamed

G C

of vanished age, of knights and kings,

F C

when magic danced along the wind,

D G

enchanters flew on dragon’s wings.

C F C

A seed grew in the hearts of men,

Em F G

that first bright flower of chivalry,

C F C

when past and present were as one,

G F - C

reaching for infinity.

C F C

2. But in this cold computer age,

G C

we fear the future, scorn the past,

F C

and stumble on from day to day,

D G

in a world where nothing seems to last.

C F C

What can’t be proved, can’t be believed,

Em F G

legends are lies to be dismissed,

C F C

Excalibur rusts in its sheath,

G F - C

and Camelot does not exist.

3. So, lady, will you go with me,

G C

and leave this barren world behind,

F C

it has no place for such as we,

D G

we’re out of fashion, out of time.

C F C

If you will be my Guinevere,

Em F G

I’ll try to be your Lancelot,

C F C

through storms and shadows we shall steer,

G F - C

and come at last to Camelot.
