From the single (1969) and the album 'One day at a time'
[verse 1]
GSweet Sir Galahad came G/F#in through the window in the ..
Emnight when the moon was in the Amyard.
He Dtook her hand in his and D7shook the long hair from his neck
D7and he told her she'd been woEmrking much too hard.
[verse 2]
It was Gtrue that ever since the G/F#day her crazy man had passed
aEmway to the land of poet's Ampride,
she Dlaughed and talked a lot with D7new people on the block
D7but always at evening time she Emcried.
[Chorus]
CAnd here's to the Bmdawn of their Ddays.D7
[Break instrumental with La la vocal]

[verse 3]
She Gmoved her head a littleG/F# down on the bed until it..
Emrested softly on his kAmnee - ee.
And Dthere she dropped her smile and D7there she sighed awhile,
D7and told him all the sadness of those Emyears that numbered three.
[verse 4]
Well you Gknow I think my fate's belated 'G/F#cause of all the hours I waited
Emfor the day when I'd no longer Amcry.
I Dget myself to work by eight but oh, was I born too late,
Dand do you think I'll fail at every Emsingle thing I try?
[chorus]
CAnd here's to the Bmdawn of their Ddays. D7
[verse 5]
GHe just put his arm around her G/F#and that's the way I found her
Emeight months later to the Amday.
DLines of a smile erased the D7tear tracks upon her face,
D7a smile that could linger, even Emstay.
[Outro]
GSweet Sir Galahad went Bm7down with his Emgay bride of Bmflowers
the Cprince of the Ghours of her DlifeEmtime.
And Chere's to the Bmdawn of their Ddays,
D7 of their Gdays. G/F# Em
