Verse:
F G C
King Arthur's knights they filled the table round,
G Am
Save for one who stood before them.
G C
For once without a weapon,
G Am
For once he stood in shame.
G C
The trial's charge was treason,
G Am
And betrayal of an oath.
G C
And should his guilt be proven,
G Dm
Death would fall on traitors both.
G Am F
The knights would counsel Arthur's hard decision.
Chorus:
G C Am
And Lancelot, his head held high said,
G C Am
"I'm tried for love of Guinevere.
G C
My crime was love."
Verse:
F G C
The first to speak was Kay with sharpest tongue:
G Am
"He is a man like any other.
G C
The word of Kings command him,
G Am
His heart does not obey.
G C
For all his strength and boldness,
G Am
This knight's spirit is too weak.
G C
His crime has no excuses,
G Dm
And no favours may he seek.
G Am F
The laws of Kings don't bend and can't be broken."
Chorus:
G C Am
And Lancelot, his head held high said,
G C Am
"I stand for love of Guinevere.
G C
For pride in love."
