Standard tuning Verse:
King FArthur's knights they Gfilled the table Cround, Save for Gone who stood befAmore them. For Gonce without a Cweapon, For Gonce he stood iAmn shame. The Gtrial's charge was Ctreason, And Gbetrayal of an Amoath. And Gshould his guilt be Cproven, Death would Gfall on traitorDms both. The Gknights would counAmsel Arthur's hard Fdecision.
Chorus:
And GLancelot, his Chead held high Amsaid, G"I'm tried for Clove of AmGuinevere. GMy crime was Clove."
Verse:
The Ffirst to speak was GKay with sharpest Ctongue: "He is a Gman like any Amother. The Gword of Kings comCmand him, His Gheart does not Amobey. For Gall his strength and Cboldness, This Gknight's spirit is too Amweak. His Gcrime has no eCxcuses, And no Gfavours may he Dmseek. The Glaws of Kings don't Ambend and can't be Fbroken."
Chorus:
And GLancelot, his Chead held high Amsaid, "GI stand for Clove of AmGuinevere. ForG pride in Clove."
Like this it goes on with an exception in Verse 4: "I know this knight right well," spoke bold Gawain, "And he has ever stood beside me. With steel he's answered insults, Defended chivalry. And oft this man contended For the honour of your wife. His actions were not proper, But should not cost him his life. His service past should earn of you some mercy." And Lancelot his head held high said, "I fought for love of Guinevere. I'll fight for love."
Sir FTristan spoke, "I Glove my uncle's Cwife. For Gher I gladly suAmffer, She iGs my heart's Cdelight. GIseult, the one who Amtempts me, And Gshe for whom AmI'm pure. My Glove for her conCfounds me, And is Gall of which I'Dmm sure. I Gunderstand my Ambrother's coFntradictions."
And Lancelot, his head held high said, "I cry my love for Guinevere. I've cried for love." Spoke Galahad, the purest of them all: "Have no fear of predilection. For though he is my father, He is my source of shame. He joined in sinful union With my unbeguiling mother. And for all his claim at virtue, He has gone and bed another. The laws of God declare this act damnation." And Lancelot, his head held high said, "I lie in love with Guinevere. I've lied for love." As Arthur wept, he called the wrath of heaven On the lovers who'd betrayed him. On the knight he had called 'brother' Thought worthy of his trust. On the queen who'd hid deception, Yet could say she loved him still. For lost innocence and beauty, And in justice for their guilt. King Arthur knew the only price for treason. And Lancelot, his head held high said, "I'll die in love with Guinevere. I'd die for love." I know it's kinda "old language" and quite much to learn by heart, but trust me, it's easy if you listen to the song a lot. There exist different spellings for "Iseult" like "Isolde" or "Isolt", I chose this one because to me it sounds like what she sings. Good luck and corrections are always welcome!
