#1.
Am E7 Am
Long ago, in days of old, there lived a knight who
F C E7
wasn't quite as bold, as a knight should be.
Am E7 Am
He rode an old grey mare called Bess, searchin' for
F C E7 A7
a damsel in distress...just to see if he, could set her free.
CHORUS:
Dm7 G7 C A7
See the knight in rusty armour ride..to her aid.
Dm7 G7 C B7 E7
Trusty sword is hanging at his side..with a rusty blade.
#2.
Am E7 Am
Up the tower steps he sneaked, but as he moved,
F C E7
his rusty armour squeaked..such a mournful note..
Am E7 Am
that all the sentries at their posts, thought it must
F C
have been the castle ghost.
E7 A
They jumped for their lives..in the moat.
CHORUS:#2.
Dm7 G7 C A7
So the knight in rusty armour won..his fair maid.
Dm7 G7 C B7 E7
Had no need to draw his trusty sword..with a rusty blade.
#3.
Am E7 Am
As he bent to kiss his bride, he found that he was
F C E7
rusted up inside..in his battle dress.
A7
And I can't guess...
Dm7 G7 C E7
how they still got married and had twins..
A7
they came in tins.
OUTRO:
Dm7 G7 C F C F
Every suit of armour ever made, has a kink,
C F G7 C
chain mail pants with a missing link.
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
