[Verse]
Bm C G D
In the third month of the year, to Camelot did come
Bm C G D
B gentle and a courteous child that knew much wisdom
Bm A G D Em G
B tunic and a mantle this young child had on
Bm A G D Em A
With broaches and ringes, full richly bedone
[Verse]
D Bm C G D
He had a suit of eastern silk about his middle drawn
Bm C G D
And if he lacked in courtesy, he thought of it much shame
Bm A G D Em G
"God speed thee, King Arthur, sitting at thy meat
Bm A G D Em A
And the goodly Queen Guinevere, I cannot her forget
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
D Bm C G D
I have with me a mantle, no lady can resist
Bm C G D
But it shall ne'er become that wife that hath once done amiss
Bm A G D Em G
For if she be unfaithful, in tatters it shall fall
Bm A G D Em A
And if she be but honest, she'll brighten any hall"
[Verse]
D Bm C G D
And first there came Queen Guinevere, for she should lead the way
Bm C G D
And she was surely in great doubt, although she would not say
Bm A G D Em G
And then she took the mantle, as if she'd been a maid
Bm A G D Em A
And suddenly from top to toe, it loosely fell in shreds
D Bm C G D
And then it coloured brightest red, and then it coloured green
D Bm C G D
And then it coloured darkest black, so ill did her beseem
[Verse]
Bm A G D Em G
And then up spoke King Arthur and angrier he grew
Bm A G D Em A
"By all the knights of England, I think thou be not true"
D Bm C G D
And she threw down the mantle for all the court to see
Bm C G D
And blushed as red as roses and to her room did flee
[Instrumental]
Bm A G D G A
[Verse]
D Bm C G D
Sir Kay called forth his lady and bade her to come near
Bm C G D
And said, "If thou be guilty, I pray thee hold thee there"
Bm A G D Em G
And so forth came his lady, so bold she did appear
Bm A G D Em A
And likewise was embarrassed and cried for all to hear
D Bm C G D
And likewise all the gentle knights who thought their wives most true
Bm C G D
Commanded them to try it on and bitterly did rue
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
Bm C G D
And then there came a faded knight, Sir Craddocke was his name
Bm C G D
And all the knights of Arthur's court, of him had sport and game
Bm A G D Em G
"Win this mantle, Lady, and it shall all be thine
Bm A G D Em A
And if thou ever did amiss, the shame is there for mine"
D Bm C G D
His lady took the mantle and cast it her about
Bm C G D
"Bow down to me good mantle and shame me not for nowt
Bm A G D Em G
For once I did part one amiss, I'll tell thee certainly
Bm A G D Em A
For once I lay in Craddocke's bed, before he married me"
[Verse]
D Bm C G D
When she had made confession and all her sins are told
Bm C G D
The mantle stood about her, in bright array she stood
Bm A G D Em G
So seemly of colour and glittering of gold
Bm A G D Em A
Then all the knights of Arthur's court, her beauty did behold
D Bm C G D
So Craddocke stood in glory, his lady proven true
Bm C G D
And all the knights of Arthur's court, have surely got their due
[Outro]
