#D           C            D                   C         D
See you the sword in the stone, Its metal so shiny and grey,
#D           C          D                 C            D
Draw it out gentle and slow.  Build ye a kingdom that way.

#C                                     G              D
For if you would walk safe 'cross the length of your land.
#   C                         G           D
If you'd rule a kingdom, not some ragged band
#   C                           G         D
Of men who can't sleep without weapon to hand,
#     C             G          D
Then arm them with weapons of stone.
#C             G            D
Show them the sword in the stone.

See you the sword in the stone, Its metal so shiny and grey,
Draw it out gentle and slow.  Build ye a kingdom that way.

For you see the red rock has grey metal within,
This secret is not known to all mortal men.
And knowlege is power, if kingdoms you'd win.
It's knowlege that's taken from stones.
Knowlege like swords in a stone.

See you the sword in the stone, Its metal so shiny and grey,
Draw it out gentle and slow.  Build ye a kingdom that way.

For a king must have knowlege beyond other's ken.
He must see deep 'neath the skins of his men.
For they, like the stones, have grey metal within.
And he must forge swords from the stone.
Draw them like swords in the stone.
