Lady Of Shalott  Loreena McKennitt



    Intro: D - G - D - G - D - A - D

[D]  On either side of the [G]river [A]lie
[D]  Long fields of [A]barley [F#m]and of [Bm]rye,
[G]  That clothe the [D]world and [A]meet the [Bm]sky;
[G]  And thro' the field the r[A]oad run by
[G]  To many-t[A]owered [D]Camelot;
[Bm]  And up and down the [F#m]people go,
[Bm]  Gazing w[G]here the l[A]ilies [F#m]blow
[Bm]  Round an island [F#m]there below,
   The i[G]sland [A]of Sha[Bm]lott.
[D]  A bow-shot from her b[G]ower-e[A]aves,
[D]  He rode bet[A]ween the b[F#m]arley sh[Bm]eaves,
[G]  The sun came d[D]azzling th[A]ro' the le[Bm]aves,
[G]  And flamed upon the br[A]azen greaves
   Of b[G]old Sir L[A]ancel[D]ot.
[Bm]  A red-cross knight for [F#m]ever kneel'd
[Bm]  To a l[G]ady [A]in his [F#m]shield,
[Bm]  That sparkled on the [F#m]yellow field,
[G]  Beside rem[A]ote Shal[Bm]ott.
[D]  She left the web, she le[G]ft the lo[A]om,
[D]  She made three p[A]aces t[F#m]aro' the r[Bm]oom,
[G]  She saw the w[D]ater-li[A]ly bl[Bm]oom,
[G]  She saw the helmet a[A]nd the plume,
   She l[G]ooked down to C[A]amel[D]ot.
[Bm]  Out flew the web and [F#m]floated wide;
[Bm]  The mirror c[G]racked from s[A]ide to s[F#m]ide;
[Bm]  "The curse is come [F#m]upon me," cried
   The L[G]ady o[A]f Shal[Bm]ott.
Bridge: (Bm - F#m - Bm - G - D - A) x2

[Bm]  In the stormy e[F#m]ast-wind straining,
[G]  The pale yellow woods[A] were w[F#m]aning,
[Bm]  The broad stream in his [F#m]banks complaining.
[G]  Heavily the l[A]ow sky raining
[G]  Over t[A]owered C[Bm]amelot;
   Down she came and [F#m]found a boat
[Bm]  Beneath a w[G]illow l[A]eft a[F#m]float,
[Bm]  And round about the [F#m]prow she wrote
   The L[G]ady o[A]f Sha[Bm]lott.

[D]  Who is this? And w[G]hat is h[A]ere?
[D]  And in the l[A]ighted p[F#m]alace n[Bm]ear
[G]  Died the s[D]ound of r[A]oyal ch[Bm]eer;
[G]  And they crossed thems[A]elves for fear,
[G]  All the Knights [A]at Camel[D]ot;
[D]  But Lancelot mused a l[G]ittle sp[A]ace
[D]  He said, "She h[A]as a lo[F#m]vely f[Bm]ace;
[G]  God in his m[D]ercy le[A]nd her g[Bm]race,
   The L[G]ady o[A]f Shal[D]ott."
Ending: D - G - D - A - D - G - D - A - D
