Chords

From the 1960 musical of the same name. [Intro] (spoken)

C 
It's true it's true the crown has made it clear

                                    F
The climate must be perfect all the year

[Verse 1]

F
A law was made a distant moon ago here

July and August cannot be too hot

    C                                         F      F
And there's a legal limit to the snow here in Camelot

    C                          F
The winter is forbidden till December

    C                             F
And exits March the second on the dot

   C                                         A      A
By order summer lingers through September in Camelot

[Verse 2]

D
Camelot Camelot

I know it sounds a bit bizarre

       F
But in Camelot Camelot

       C                  Gm C
That's how conditions are

    F
The rain may never fall till after sundown

By eight the morning fog must disappear

   C                    F     A              Dm
In short there's simply not a more congenial spot

                 Bb            F       C   F   C F C A
For happily ever aftering than here in Camelot

[Verse 3]

D
Camelot Camelot

I know it gives a person pause

       F
But in Camelot Camelot

      C                  Gm C
Those are the legal laws

    F
The snow may never slosh upon the hillside

By nine p.m. the moonlight must appear

   C                    F     A              Dm
In short there's simply not a more congenial spot

                 Bb            F       C   F  F
For happily ever aftering than here in Camelot
