[Verse]
                      F     G    C
On either side of the river lie
                      G/B    Am   F
Long fields of barley and of rye
                C         G/B      Am   F
That clothe the world and meet the sky
                      G
Through the field the road runs by
   F    G       C        Am
To many towered Camelot
                    G      Em  Am
And up and down the people go
                 G      C     Am
Gazing where the lilies blow
                 G       Em
'Round an island there below
    Am        G  Am
The island of Shalott
 
[Verse]
C               F      G       C
Willows whiten, aspens quiver
               G/B      Am      F
Little breezes dusk and shiver
            C         G/B     Am    F
Through the wave that runs forever
              G
By the island in the river
F       G       C        Am
Flowing down to Camelot
                    G         Em      Am
Four grey walls and four grey towers
           G        C        Am
Overlook a space of flowers
               G      Em
And the silent isle embowers
    Am      G  Am
The Lady of Shalott
 
[Verse]
C             F       G      C
Only reapers, reaping early
             G/B     Am      F
In among the bearded barley
       C         G/B    Am       F
Hear a song that echoes cheerly
               G
From the river winding clearly
F       G       C        Am
Down to towered Camelot
                     G      Em     Am
And by the moon, the reaper weary
                  G       C     Am
Piling sheaves in uplands airy
                       G       Em
Listening, whispers, "'Tis the fairy
    Am      G  Am
The Lady of Shalott"

[Verse]
                    G         Am
There she weaves by night and day
                 G       C    Am
A magic web with colours gay
                G       Am
She has heard a whisper say
                  G      C
A curse is on her if she stay
   Am              G Am
To look down to Camelot
                       G         Em  Am
She knows not what the curse may be
                   G     C   Am
And so she weaveth steadily
             G         Em
Little other care hath she
    Am      G  Am
The Lady of Shalott
 
[Verse]
                     G      Am
And moving through a mirror clear
                       G       C     Am
There hangs before her all the year
               G       Am
Shadows of the world appear
                   G       C
There she sees the highway near
Am                 G Am
Winding down to Camelot
                          G      Em    Am
And sometimes through the mirror blue
                        G       C    Am
The knights come riding two and two
                  G          Em
She hath no loyal knight and true
    Am      G  Am
The Lady of Shalott
 
[Verse]
                   G       Am
But in her web she still delights
                      G     C       Am
To weave the mirror's magic sights
                      G      Am
For often through the silent nights
                      G        C
A funeral with plumes and with lights
    Am
And music went to Camelot
                     G   Em    Am
Or when the moon was overhead
                      G      C    Am
Came two young lovers lately wed
                  G             Em
"I'm half sick of shadows," she said
    Am      G  Am
The Lady of Shalott

[Verse]
                   F     G      C
A bowshot from her bower eaves
                    G/B    Am       F
He rode between the barley sheaves
             C        G/B         Am   F
The sun came dazzling through the leaves
                    G
And flamed upon the brazen greaves
   F        G    C    Am
Of bold Sir Lancelot
                      G    Em       Am
A red cross knight forever kneel'd
          G      C       Am
To a lady in his shield
                     G      Em
That sparkled on the yellow field
  Am          G  Am
Beside remote Shalott
 
[Verse]
                        G        Am
His broad clear brow in sunlight glowed
                        G        C      Am
On burnished hooves his warhorse trode
                    G      Am
From underneath his helmet flowed
                        G     C
His coal black curls as on he rode
      Am              G Am
As he rode back to Camelot
                      G        Em     Am
And from the bank and from the river
                    G       C       Am
He flashed into the crystal mirror
               G      Em
"Tirra Lirra," by the river
Am           G Am
Sang Sir Lancelot
 
[Verse]
C                     F        G     C
She left the web, she left the loom
                     G/B         Am    F
She made three paces through the room
            C     G/B  Am     F
She saw the water lily bloom
                   G
She saw the helmet and the plume
    F              G   C    Am
She looked down to Camelot
                     G       Em    Am
Out flew the web and floated wide
                        G       C     Am
The mirror cracked from side to side
                    G        Em
"The curse is come upon me," cried
    Am      G  Am
The Lady of Shalott
 
[Instrumental]
Am    Em   Am  F  C  G  Am  F  C  G  Am  F  G    Am
 
[Verse]
              G         Am
In the stormy east wind straining
                     G     C       Am
The pale yellow woods were waning
                        G        Am
The broad stream in his banks complaining
            G       C
Heavily the low sky raining
 Am          G   Am
Over towered Camelot
                  G       Em    Am
Down she came and found a boat
                 G     C      Am
Beneath a willow left afloat
                    G        Em
And round about the prow she wrote
     Am      G  Am
'The Lady of Shalott'
 
[Verse]
                 G     Am
Down the river's dim expanse
                    G    C       Am
Like some bold seer in a trance
               G      Am
Seeing all his own mischance
              G     C
With a glassy countenance
    Am        G   Am
She looked to Camelot
                   G      Em   Am
And at the closing of the day
                         G        C    Am
She loosed the chain and down she lay
                          G    Em
The broad stream bore her far away
    Am      G  Am
The Lady of Shalott

[Verse]
               F         G     C
Heard a carol, mournful, holy
                G/B     Am     F
Chanted loudly, chanted lowly
         C         G/B    Am      F
'Til her blood was frozen slowly
                  G
And her eyes were darkened wholly
F         G       C        Am
Turned to towered Camelot
                      G       Em    Am
For 'ere she reached upon the tide
                       G    C     Am
The first house by the waterside
               G        Em
Singing in her song she died
    Am      G  Am
The Lady of Shalott
 
[Verse]
                G    Am
Under tower and balcony
                   G    C   Am
By garden wall and gallery
                      G       Am
A gleaming shape, she floated by
                      G      C
Dead pale between the houses high
Am
Silent into Camelot
                 G           Em    Am
And out upon the wharfs they came
                    G        C     Am
Knight and burgher, lord and dame
                   G              Em
And 'round the prow they read her name
     Am      G  Am
'The Lady of Shalott'
 
[Instrumental]
Am    Em   Am  F  C  G  Am  F  C  G  Am  F  G    C
 
[Verse]
                 F       G     C
Who is this? And what is here?
                   G/B    Am    F
And in the lighted palace near
         C        G/B   Am     F
Died the sound of royal cheer
                       G
They crossed themselves for fear
    F          G   C    F
The Knights at Camelot
C                F      G      C
Lancelot mused a little space
                    G      Am    C
He said, "She has a lovely face
                          Am
God in his mercy lend her grace
    F    G     C
The Lady of Shalott"
