 That's it.
 E / A / Cm / B x 2 (Piano intro also goes well with this)
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
 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.
