Verse 1:
  E            Am
Upon a new year's day
  E              Am
A host of knights did pray
  F                  C                 G  C9  G
That from the anvil one could draw the sword.
 Am                E
As each knight took his turn
  Am                E
They found the anvil, held it firm;
  Dm                  E              Am
None worthy of a future king and lord.

Verse 2:
  E              Am
Sir Kay the bravest knight
  E              Am
Appeared to try his might
  F                  C                 G  C9  G
He dreamed of being king, as all the rest
  Am                E
To Arthur Sir Kay called to search
  Am                E
And bring for him a sword
  Dm             E              Am
In earnest Arthur set about his quest.
  E              Am
A churchyard in the wood
  E              Am
The sword and anvil stood
 F                  C                 G  C9  G
And Arthur drew the sword out of the stone
  Am                E
The anvil now defeated
  Am                E
His quest for the sword completed
  Dm             E              Am
A sword that was to place him on the throne
  Dm             E              Am
A sword that was to place him on the throne.

Sir Hector and Sir Kay saw

the sword And knelt to pray
  F            C                       G  C9  G
Then gently took it from young Arthur's hand
   Am           E
They marveled at his quest
  Am           E
Proclaiming to the rest
Dm         E              Am
Arthur is the king of all this land
Dm         E              Am
Arthur the king of all this land.
