Dragon Song (Billy Berson)

EmAmEmAm
A dragon stalked the hills and the glens of
CDGEm
Dunkirk long ago. I shudder to think of the
AmEmDEmD
terror he wrought, a long time ago, Oh, yes, a
EmDEm
long time ago.
GDEmCD
Let me sing this song to you, a song I'm sure
GGEm
you'll know. I'll sing of lords and kings and
AmDEmDEmD
men, a tale of long ago, Oh, yes, a tale of long
Em
ago.
GDEmCD
Up stepped Lady Ellen's knight, his armor shone
GGEm
like gold. He said, "I'll lay the damn beast
AmDEmDEmD
down, if I may be so bold, Oh, yes, if I may be
Em
so bold."
     
GDEmC
So he doffed his cap and off he rode, upon his
DGGEm
great white steed. And in his hands a mighty
AmDEmD
sword, a sword he wouldn't need, Oh, yes, a
EmDEm
sword he wouldn't need.
GDEm
He rode and he rode for many a day, for the
CDGG
dragon's cave was far. He said, "I'd get there
EmAmDEmDEm
faster if I had a motor car, Oh, yes, if I had a
DEm
motor car."
GDEm
The townsfolk stayed, the townsfolk stayed,
CDGGEm
awaiting his return. When he appeared they all
AmDEm
pressed close, his mighty tale to learn, Oh,
DEmDEm
yes, his mighty tale to learn.
     
GDEmC
"The dragon's dead, the dragon's dead, I shot
DGGEm
him from a tree." "That's all fine and well,"
AmDEmD
they said, "but what of his family? Oh, yes, but
EmDEm
what of his family?"
GDEmC
"Don't fear I shot them all that day, my armor
DGGEm
wasn't dented. I shot them with a tommy gun,
AmDEmD
though it hasn't been invented, Oh, yes, though
EmDEm
it hasn't been invented."
GDEmCD
The moral of this merry tale, a tale of mirth
GGEmAm
and fun. Don't ever go on a dragon hunt, without
DEmDEmDEm
a tommy gun, Oh, yes, without a tommy gun.
