    D(switch between picking open D and A string)

    Took her hand in his and

    Shook the long hair from his neck

                Em (Switch picking the open E and 2nd fretted A string)

    And he told her she'd been working much too hard

play VERSE progression  

    It was true that ever since the day

    Her crazy man had passed away

    To the land of poet's pride

    (FILL 1)

    She laughed and talked a lot

    With new people on the block

    But always at evening time she cried

CHORUS

    C            B

    And heres to the dawm

             D

    Of their days

BRIDGE Progression (Played with humming after 1st Chorus)

VERSE 3 & 4

She moved her head a little down

On the bed until it rested

Softly on his knee

(FILL 1)

There, she dropped her smile

And there, she sighed a while

And told him all the sadness of those years

That numbered three

Well ya know I think my fates belated

'Cuz of all the hours I waited for

The day, when I'd no longer cry

(FILL 1)

Get myself to work by eight

But oh was I born too late

And doo you think Ill fail

At every single thing I try

CHORUS

(Play regular VERSE progression ONCE)

He just put his arm around her

And that's the way I found her

Eight months later to the day

(FILL 1)

Lines of a smile erased

The tear tracks upon her face

A smile that could linger, even stay

(Play BRIDGE Progression)

Sweet Sir Galahad went down

With his gay bride of flowers

The prince of the hours

Of her lifetime

CHORUS

OUTRO

G----G7M----Em
