CThe angel of the Holy Grail

saw FGalahad come riding

So he tookC the Holy GGrail off the Cshelf.

CAnd inside the holy chapel made for

FHoly Grail hiding the angel

CCould be seen to Gsmile to hiCmself.

E7"If you're the great Sir GGalahad

CFrom now on," said the aFngel

"May all Cangels call me Gblessed of my Crace."

E7"If you're not the great Sir GGalahad

CI'll warn you, keep on Friding and if you Care

I pray you'll Glet me see your Cface."

CGalahad took off his helmet, said

F"Good angel look upon me.

Fear Cnot, for I bring Gtidings of great Cjoy.

CFor long years the grail you've guarded, now

FYou get to let me drink it, how

CHappy must be Gangels thus emCployed."

C"All the favors you shower upon

FMe, a simple angel," said the

CAngel, "your Gmagnificence aCbounds.

CTake your boots off great Sir Galahad,

For Fby your astounding beauty whatever

CGround you stand on Gturns to holy Cground."

CGalahad took off his boots, and he

FWatched the ground quite closely

And the Cangel smiled Gto himself aCgain.

CHe said, "I can't believe I'm asking, but

Sir FGalahad please tell me, what is

CIt that makes you Gwant to go to hCeaven?

E7In heaven there's no lGamb chops,

Queen CGuinevere's for Fhand jobs,

CMarijuana, Kenny GRogers, or EcCstasy.

No E7pillaging, no Grape, perhaps

you've Ccome by some misFtake to me

this Cseems more error Gthan knight eCrrantry.

CFCGC x2

CYes, and what about the stable boys,

FI know you think they're handsome

and some of Cthem, they think you're Gawful handsome Ctoo.

CAnd, sitting up in heaven, you'll still

Fthink about them often, when you're an

Cangel thinking's Gall that you can Cdo."

E7At this, Sir Galahad gotG angry,

"ACngel," he said, "don't you temFpt me.

I Cwish to go to Gheaven and not to Chell.

So when E7stable boys look lGonesome,

CWhen the women call me Fhandsome,

I'll Chold me virtue very Gfirmly by Cmyself."

"I Cguarantee you'll hold it often,"

said the angel.F "Oh one more thing, before you

Cdrink the wine, please Gtake your armor Coff.

CI gotta carry you to heaven,

And Fdespite what you'd imagine,

I have Ctrouble bearing Gheavy things aCloft."

CFCGC x2

CSir Galahad stood naked

FIn a pile of his armor,

His Cboots and helmet Gscattered all aCround.

His Cperfect lips, they sipped the grail,

His Fperfect heart commenced to fail,

His Cperfect body Gfell upon the Cground.

E7The angel lit a cGigarette.

When Che was sure GalaFhad was dead,

He Cpicked all of his Gclothes up off the Cfloor.

Then E7I put on his bGoots and armor

I Claid his body Fon the altar

Put his Chelmet on and I Gheaded for the Cdoor.
