Brave Sir Robin
Music by Neil Innes, words by Eric Idle
(but you all knew that, didn't you?)
Em
Bravely bold Sir Robin
B7 Em
Rode forth from Camelot
Em D G
He was not afraid to die, oh brave Sir Robin
G D Asus4
He was not at all afraid to be killed in nasty
D
ways
Em D G D B7
Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Robin
Em
He was not in the least bit scared to be mashed
B7 Em
into a pulp
D
Or to have his eyes gouged out and his elbows
G
broken
D Asus4
To have his kneecaps split and his body burned
D
away
Em D G
And his limbs all hacked and mangled, brave Sir
D B7
Robin
G D
His head smashed in, and his heart cut out
G D
And his liver removed, and his bowels unplugged
G D
And his nostrils raped, and his bottom burned off
G
And his penis ...

Bravely ran away, away
G D Em
When danger reared its ugly head, he bravely
B7
turned his tail and fled

Em B7
And gallantly, he chickened out
Em D Em D
Bravely taking to his feet
Em D Em D
He beat a very brave retreat
G Am D G B7
Bravest of the brave, Sir Robin
*******************************************************

He is packing it in and packing it up
Em D
And sneaking away and buggering up
G D G D
And chickening out and pissing off home,
G D Em B7 Em
Yes, bravely he is throwing in the sponge
