Misc Cartoons – Animaniacs - The Bayeux Tapestry Song (Guitar)

Dm Gm A    N.C.
      (Oh, God) Well

    Dm      N.C.
The Normans conquered England

       Gm             Dm
In the year ten-sixty-six

N.C.      Gm       N.C.      Dm
Back when dentists weren't a thing

N.C.     Dm                A
And everyone had fleas and ticks

      Dm  N.C.
To commemorate the battle

          Gm             Dm
And their courage in the fight

N.C.        Gm   N.C.       Dm  N.C.
The Normans made the Bayeux Tapestry

      Dm   N.C.       A
Whose tale I'll now recite

N.C.    Dm
Oh King Edward, he was this guy

       Gm               Dm
He was ruler, king, and czar

        Gm              Dm
But the apples from his family tree

    A
Had fallen pretty far

        Dm
When he passed away those leeches

       Gm          Dm
Didn't even wait a day

         Gm              Dm
They all went in for the scepter

       A
Like a Vegas night buffet

         Dm
This guy Harold, Earl of Sussex

        Gm              Dm
Who was rocking this goatee

        Gm               Dm
Put his hand up high and swore

        A
"Edward gave England to me"

      Dm
So he had the Archduke-Bishop

    Gm                 Dm
Go ahead and crown him king

        Gm            G
But our hero said "No thanks"

           C
To kissing Harold's stupid ring

Bb
William of Normandy

   F
On France's shore

C
Duke since the age of twelve

    F
And hungry for more

          Bb             F
He made a claim upon the throne

     A7             Dm
Flakier than a croissant

       Bb
So his name would live forever

        C
In this fun and nifty font

         D
Now with Harold the Usurper

         A                D
Will was wondering how to cope

        G                D
Then he noticed Halley's Comet

             A
And thought "That looks pretty dope

         D
It's the universe commanding me

   A                D
To make all England mine

        G                    D
So I'll bring some boats and horses

      A             D
And a jug or two of wine"

         Dm
Good old Willie had an army

       Gm                 Dm
Was at least ten-thousand strong

             Gm           Dm
They marched every day in chainmail

     A
More annoying than a thong

          Dm
Yes their thighs were really chafing

          Gm              Dm
And their helmets far too tight

      Gm                 G
Maybe that's why up near Hastings

             C                   N.C.
They torched everything in sight

       Dm
In the middle of the battle

            A              Dm
Things were going down the drain

           Dm              Gm
'Cause the Normans heard a nasty rumor

Dm         A        Dm
That their duke was slain

        Gm              Gm7
So then Willie took his helmet off

   Gm
To show he was alive

        A          A7
And the rest is TL;DR

        A
But the gist is Harold died

Bb
William the Conqueror

   F
He stole our hearts

C
Burned down our houses

        F
And our horses and our carts

         Bb               F
With his brothers Bob and Odo

       A7                Dm
He had sailed across the sea

         Gm              G
Sure, he killed a lot of people

           C          D
But that's ancient history

C           D
William the Conqueror

   G
He was so neat

     C       D
When enemies mocked him

     G             G7
He'd cut off their feet

     C                G
He's probably getting tortured

        B7            Em
Down in Hades by some ghoul

           Am
But he's related to Elizabeth

       D
That's why we think he's cool

               C
Now that's our crash course in the

G               D              G
Tapestry you'll never learn in school
