Holy Grail
Capo on 4th fret
[Intro]
 C-  F-  Am-      Gx 2
[Verse 1]
CWoke up this Fmorning from the Amstrangest Gdream
CI was in the Fbiggest army the Amworld had ever Gseen
We were Cmarching as Fone on thAme road to the GHoly Grail
 C-  F-  Am- G  
CStarted Fout seeking Amfortune and Gglory
It's a Cshort Fsong but it's a Amhell of a Gstory
When you Cspend your lifetime Ftrying to get youAmr hands on the GHoly Grail
 C-  F-  Am- G  
FWell have you heard about the Amgreat crusaGde
FWe ran into millions but Amnobody got Gpaid
Yeh, we Frazed four corners of the Amglobe for the GHoly Grail
 C-  F-  Am-      Gx 2
[Verse 2]
CAll the locals Fscattered, they were Amhiding in the Gsnow
CWe were so far from Fhome so Amhow were we to Gknow
There'd be Cnothing left to Fplunder when we Amstumbled on the GHoly Grail
 C-   F-  Am- G  
FWe were full of beans, but we were Amdying like Gflies
FAnd those big black birds, they were Amcircling in the Gsky
FAnd you know what they sayAm, no Gbody deserves to die
 C-   F-  Am- G  
But CI
I've been Bbsearching for an easy Amway
To escape the Fcold light of Cday
I've been Bbhigh and I've been Amlow
But I got Fnowhere else to Cgo
     Bb       AmThere's Fnowhere else to CgoBb  Am  F  
 C-  F-  Am-      Gx 4
FI followed orders
AmGod knows where I've Gbeen
FBut I woke up alone
AmAll my wounds were Gclean
FI'm still here
AmI'm still a fool for the Holy GGrail
 C-  F-  Am- G
