Verse 1

Woke up this morning from the strangest dream

I was in the biggest army the world had ever seen

We were marching as one on the road to the holy grail

Started out seeking fortune and glory

It's a short song but it's one hell of a story

When you spend your lifetime trying to get your hands

On the Holy Grail

Well have you heard about the great crusade

We ran into millions but nobody got paid

We raised four corners of the globe for the holy grail

/// x 2

Verse 2

Same chord pattern as Verse 1)

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

( then back to // )

We were full of beans, but we were dying like flies

Those big black birds, they were circling in the sky

And you know what they say, no body deserves to die

( play this bit slightly quieter )

But I

I've been searching for an easy way

To escape the cold light of day

I've been high and I've been low

But I got nowhere else to go

//// x 2

( Brass solo )

I followed orders

God knows where I've been

But I woke up alone

All my wounds were clean

I'm still here

I'm still a fool for the holy grail

You're done.

Have fun, kids.
