THE LADY OF SHALOTT (The Visit - 1991)
(Short Version)
[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."
