Verse 1:
Am E7
Long ago in days of old
Am F C
There lived a knight who wasn't quite as bold
E7 /E /F /F# /G#
As a knight should be
Am E
He rode an old grey mare called Bess
Am F C
Searchin' for a damsel in distress
E7
Just to see if he
A7
Could set her free
Chorus 1:
Dm7 G7 C
See the knight in rusty armour ride
A7
To her aid
Dm7 G7 C F
Trusty sword is hanging at his side
B7 E7
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]:
Am E7
As he bent to kiss his bride
Am F C
He found that he was rusted up inside
E7
In his battle dress
A7
And I can guess
Coda:
Dm7 G7 C
How they still got married and had twins
A7
They came in tins
Dm7 G7 C F
Every suit of armour ever made
C F
Has a kink
C F G7 C
Chain mail pants with a missing link
(bass drum/high hat fill; end cold on C)
-- another ace 60's tab from Andrew Rogers
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official PETER AND GORDON tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
