Verse 1:
LAmong ago in dE7ays of old
There liAmved a knight who wFasn't quite as bCold
E7 /E /F /F# /G#
As a knight should be
He rAmode an old grey mEare called Bess
SAmearchin' for a dFamsel in distrCess
Just to see if E7he
Could set her fA7ree
Chorus 1:
Dm7See the knG7ight in rusty aCrmour ride
To her A7aid
TDm7rusty sG7word is hanging Cat his sFide
With a rB7usty bE7lade
Verse 2:
Up the tower steps he sneaked
But as he moved his rusty armour squeaked
Such a mournful note
And all the sentries at their post
Thought it must have been the castle ghost
They jumped for their lives
In the moat
Chorus 2:
So the knight in rusty armour won
His fair maid
Had no need to draw his trusty sword
With a rusty blade
Verse 3 [partial]:
AmAs he bent to kE7iss his bride
He fAmound that he was rFusted up insCide
In his battle dE7ress
And I can gA7uess
Coda:
Dm7How they sG7till got married aCnd had twins

Dm7Every sG7uit of armour eCver mFade
HCas a kFink
ChCain mail paFnts with a mG7issing lCink
