A Night In Summer Long Ago

My l[A]ady may I[C#m] have this d[D]ance
Forgive a kn[Bm]ight who kn[E]ows no shame
My l[A]ady may I[C#m] have this d[D]ance
And lady m[Bm]ay I h[E]ave your n[A]ame

You danced upon[D] a soldiers arm
And I felt the bl[Bm]ade of l[E]ove so keen
And wh[A]en you smiled you d[C#m]id me h[D]arm
And I was dr[Bm]awn to y[E]ou, my qu[A]een

Now these b[A]oots may take me[C#m] where they w[D]ill
Though they may n[Bm]ever sh[E]ine like his
There is n[A]o knight I [C#m]would not k[D]ill
To have my l[Bm]adys h[E]and to k[A]iss

Yes and they did t[C#m]ake me[D] through the hall
To leave me n[Bm]ot one br[E]eath from you
And th[A]ey fell silent[C#m] one and [D]all
And you could [Bm]see my h[E]eart was tr[A]ue

Then I did l[A]ead you[C#m] from the h[D]all
And we did r[Bm]ide up[E]on the hill
Away bey[A]ond[C#m] the city w[D]all
And sure [Bm]you are my l[E]ady st[A]ill
A night in s[C#m]ummer[D] long ago
The stars were f[Bm]alling fr[E]om the sky
And st[A]ill, my heart, I[C#m] have to kn[D]ow
Why do you l[Bm]ove me, l[E]ady, wh[A]y?
