Kate Rusby – Sir Eglamore (Guitar)

    C
Sir Eglamore was a valiant knight

F                G
Fa la lanky down dilly

   C
He took up his sword and he went to fight

F                G
Fa la lanky down dilly

C               F
As he rode o'er hill and dale

    C             G
All armoured in a coat of mail

C              F                G          C        F
Fa la la-n-ba, da-n-da da-n-ba, lanky down dilly

    C
Out came a dragon from her den

F                G
Fa la lanky down dilly

     C
That killed god knows how many men

F                G
Fa la lanky down dilly

C                F
When she saw Sir Eglamore

    C                      G
You should have heard that dragon roar

C              F                G          C      F  G 
Fa la la-n-ba, da-n-da da-n-ba, lanky down dilly

C
When the trees began to shake

F                G
Fa la lanky down dilly

C
Horse did tremble and man did quake

F                G
Fa la lanky down dilly

    C                 F
The birds betook them all to peep

   C               G
It would've made a grown man weep

C              F                G          C      F  G 
Fa la la-n-ba, da-n-da da-n-ba, lanky down dilly

C
Twas all in vain it was to fear

F                G
Fa la lanky down dilly

C
For now they fall to fight like bears

F                G
Fa la lanky down dilly

C                 F
To it they go and soundly fight

    C                  G
The live-long day from morn' 'til night

C              F                G          C      
Fa la la-n-ba, da-n-da da-n-ba, lanky down dilly

     C
This dragon had a plaguey hide

F                G
Fa la lanky down dilly

     C
That could the sharpest steel abide

F                G
Fa la lanky down dilly

   C                 F
No sword could enter through her skin

      C                    G
Which vexed the knight and made her grin

C              F                G          C      F  G 
Fa la la-n-ba, da-n-da da-n-ba, lanky down dilly

     C
But as in choler she did burn

F                G
Fa la lanky down dilly

   C
He fetched the dragon a great good turn

F                G
Fa la lanky down dilly

    C            F
And as a-yawning she did fall

   C                   G
He pushed his sword up hilt and all

C              F                G          C      F  G 
Fa la la-n-ba, da-n-da da-n-ba, lanky down dilly

    C
And like a coward she did fly

F                G
Fa la lanky down dilly

C
To her den which was hard by

F                G
Fa la lanky down dilly

    C                 F
And there she lay all night and roared

    C                G
The knight was sorry for his sword

C              F                C  G 
Fa la la-n-ba, da-n-da da-n-ba

C              F                C  G 
Fa la la-n-ba, da-n-da da-n-ba

C              F                C  G 
Fa la la-n-ba, da-n-da da-n-ba

C              F                C  G 
Fa la la-n-ba, da-n-da da-n-ba
