The Lady of Shalott (1832)
BY ALFRED, LORD TENNYSON
.
Part III

Bm/D Am/D
A bow-shot from her bower-eaves,
Em A
He rode between the barley-sheaves,
Em A
The sun came dazzling thro' the leaves,
Am Em
And flam'd upon the brazen greaves
G A B7
Of bold Sir Lancelot.
Em D
A red-cross knight for ever kneel'd
Am B7
To a lady in his shield,
Em A
That sparkled on the yellow field,
G A B7
Beside remote Shalott.

The gemmy bridle glitter'd free,
Like to some branch of stars we see
Hung in the golden Galaxy.
The bridle bells rang merrily
As he rode down from Camelot:
And from his blazon'd baldric slung
A mighty silver bugle hung,
And as he rode his armour rung,
Beside remote Shalott.

F#m B
All in the blue unclouded weather
F#m B
Thick-jewell'd shone the saddle-leather,
Bm F#m
The helmet and the helmet-feather
E G#
Burn'd like one burning flame together,
A E G#7
As he rode down from Camelot.
B A
As often thro' the purple night,
E F#m
Below the starry clusters bright,
B G
Some bearded meteor, trailing light,
G A B7
Moves over green Shalott.

His broad clear brow in sunlight glow'd;
On burnish'd hooves his war-horse trode;
From underneath his helmet flow'd
His coal-black curls as on he rode,
As he rode down from Camelot.
From the bank and from the river
He flash'd into the crystal mirror,
'Tirra lirra, tirra lirra:'
Sang Sir Lancelot.

She left the web, she left the loom
She made three paces thro' the room
She saw the water-flower bloom,
She saw the helmet and the plume,
She look'd down to Camelot.
Out flew the web and floated wide;
The mirror crack'd from side to side;
'The curse is come upon me,' cried
The Lady of Shalott.
