A        C#m         D
My lady may I have this dance
Bm         E
Forgive a knight who knows no shame
A        C#m         D
My lady may I have this dance
Bm    E         A
And lady may I have your name

D
You danced upon a soldiers arm
Bm      E
And I felt the blade of love so keen
A                  C#m    D
And when you smiled you did me harm
Bm      E        A
And I was drawn to you, my queen

A               C#m          D
Now these boots may take me where they will
Bm     E
Though they may never shine like his
A          C#m        D
There is no knight I would not kill
Bm    E       A
To have my ladys hand to kiss

C#m   D
Yes and they did take me through the hall
Bm       E
To leave me not one breath from you
A             C#m      D
And they fell silent one and all
Bm      E          A
And you could see my heart was true

A      C#m        D
Then I did lead you from the hall
Bm    E
And we did ride upon the hill
A  C#m        D
Away beyond the city wall
Bm          E     A
And sure you are my lady still
C#m  D
A night in summer long ago
Bm       E
The stars were falling from the sky
A               C#m        D
And still, my heart, I have to know
Bm       E      A
Why do you love me, lady, why?
