Erastide 5365 (Oh, what a knight!)

(C C F G) x 2

          C
Oh what a knight
F       G                    C
Late in spring, that year of sixty-five
F       G                  C
Was the first time that he saved my life
   F   G              C
As I remember, what a knight

Oh what a knight
I stood there watching as they talked that day
Feeling showed more than the words they said
What a lady, what a knight

    Dm
 Oh I
   Dm                           Am                   G
 I got a funny feeling when the news came 'cross the sea
    Dm
 Oh why
   Dm                                 G
 I sat there, I could only think "Why me?"

Oh what a knight
Starts a war to keep his lady near
Nothing but sheer bone from ear to ear
Teeth of Torak, what a knight

(Am Am Am  C  D) x2

F                            G
  I made the field shake and conjured up the thunder
F                                     G
  Nearly caused an ice age - oh well, everybody blunders
            C        F G   C    F G
  Oh what a knight!

 Oh I
 I got a funny feeling when she walked in the room
 Oh why
 Could she think it happened much too soon

Oh what a knight
Why did it take so long to see the light
Seemed so wrong, but now it seems so right
What a lady, what a knight!
