Verse 1:
L[Am]ong ago in d[E7]ays of old
There li[Am]ved a knight who w[F]asn't quite as b[C]old
As a knight should [E7]be[/E] [/F] [/F#] [/G#]
He r[Am]ode an old grey m[E]are called Bess
S[Am]earchin' for a d[F]amsel in distr[C]ess
Just to see if [E7]he
Could set her f[A7]ree
Chorus 1:
[Dm7]See the kn[G7]ight in rusty a[C]rmour ride
To her [A7]aid
T[Dm7]rusty s[G7]word is hanging [C]at his s[F]ide
With a r[B7]usty b[E7]lade
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):
[Am]As he bent to k[E7]iss his bride
He f[Am]ound that he was r[F]usted up ins[C]ide
In his battle d[E7]ress
And I can g[A7]uess
Coda:
[Dm7]How they s[G7]till got married a[C]nd had twins
They came in t[A7]ins
[Dm7]Every s[G7]uit of armour e[C]ver m[F]ade
H[C]as a k[F]ink
Ch[C]ain mail pa[F]nts with a m[G7]issing l[C]ink
(bass drum/high hat fill; end cold on C)
-- another ace 60's tab from Andrew Rogers
