Verse 1:
LAm MI7
Long ago in days of old
LAm FA DO
There lived a knight who wasn't quite as bold
MI7 /MI /FA /FA# /SOL#
As a knight should be
LAm MI
He rode an old grey mare called Bess
LAm FA DO
Searchin' for a damsel in distress
MI7
Just to see if he
LA7
Could set her free
Chorus 1
REm7 SOL7 DO
See the knight in rusty armour ride
LA7
To her aid
REm7 SOL7 DO FA
Trusty sword is hanging at his side
SI7 MI7
With a rusty blade
Verse 2:
Up the tower steps he sneaked
But as he moved his rusty armour squeaked
Such a mournful note
And all the sentries at their post
Thought it must have been the castle ghost
They jumped for their lives
In the moat
Chorus 2
So the knight in rusty armour won
His fair maid
Had no need to draw his trusty sword
With a rusty blade
Verse 3 [partial]:
LAm MI7
As he bent to kiss his bride
LAm FA DO
He found that he was rusted up inside
MI7
In his battle dress
LA7
And I can guess
Coda:
REm7 SOL7 DO
How they still got married and had twins
LA7
They came in tins
REm7 SOL7 DO FA
Every suit of armour ever made
DO FA
Has a kink
DO FA SOL7 DO
Chain mail pants with a missing link
(bass drum/high hat fill; end cold on C)
