Verse 1:

Am E7
Long ago in days of old
Am F C
There lived a knight who wasn't quite as bold
E7 /E /F /F# /G#
As a knight should be

Am E
He rode an old grey mare called Bess
Am F C
Searchin' for a damsel in distress
E7
Just to see if he
A7
Could set her free

Chorus 1:

Dm7 G7 C
See the knight in rusty armour ride
A7
To her aid
Dm7 G7 C F
Trusty sword is hanging at his side
B7 E7
With a rusty blade

Verse 2:

Up the tower steps he sneaked
But as he moved his rusty armour squeaked
Such a mournful note

And all the sentries at their post
Thought it must have been the castle ghost
They jumped for their lives
In the moat

Chorus 2:

So the knight in rusty armour won
His fair maid
Had no need to draw his trusty sword
With a rusty blade

Verse 3 [partial]:

Am E7
As he bent to kiss his bride
Am F C
He found that he was rusted up inside
E7
In his battle dress
A7
And I can guess

Coda:

Dm7 G7 C
How they still got married and had twins
A7
They came in tins
Dm7 G7 C F
Every suit of armour ever made
C F
Has a kink
C F G7 C
Chain mail pants with a missing link

(bass drum/high hat fill; end cold on C)
