Holy Grail
(Played best in bar chord)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Intro:  E   AC#min  Bx2
                           EC#min                B  
Woke up this morning from the strangest dream
                                 EC#min           B  
I was in the biggest army that the world has ever seen
                             EC#min            B  E  
We were marching as one on the road to the holy grail.
 E   AC#min B  
                            AC#min             B  
But have you heard about the great crusade
                             AC#min      B  
We marched in our millions and nobody got paid
                                 AC#min             B                  E  
We raised the four corners of the globe for the holy grail
 E   AC#min B  
(Repeat with additional lyrics)
All the locals scattered, they were hiding in the snow
We were so far from home so how were we to know
There'd be nothing left to plunder when we stumbled on the holy grail
We were full of beans but we were dying like flies
and those big black birds were circling in the sky 
And you know what they say, Yeah 
Nobody deserves to die
                   AC#min             B  
I follwed orders god knows where I'd be
                    AC#min                B  
But I woke up alone my wounds were all clean
                   AC#min                      B  E  
I'm still here     I'm still a fool for the holy grail
Outro: E A C#min B (Repeat to fade)
