The Lady of Shalott (1832)
BY ALFRED, LORD TENNYSON
Part I

A B/A
On either side the river lie
D F#m
Long fields of barley and of rye,
D F#m
That clothe the wold and meet the sky;
A Bm
And thro' the field the road runs by
A G D To many-tower'd Camelot;
A Bm
The yellow-leaved waterlily
D F#m
The green-sheathed daffodilly
A G
Tremble in the water chilly
D Round about Shalott.

F#m A F#m E
Willows whiten, aspens shiver.
D A Bm
The sunbeam showers break and quiver
A E D A
In the stream that runneth ever
A G
By the island in the river
D Flowing down to Camelot.
F#m A E D
Four gray walls, and four gray towers
F#m D A E
Overlook a space of flowers,
Bm A
And the silent isle imbowers
A G D The Lady of Shalott.

Underneath the bearded barley,
The reaper, reaping late and early,
Hears her ever chanting cheerly,
Like an angel, singing clearly, O'er the stream of Camelot.
Piling the sheaves in furrows airy,
Beneath the moon, the reaper weary
Listening whispers, ' 'Tis the fairy, Lady of Shalott.'

The little isle is all inrail'd
With a rose-fence, and overtrail'd
With roses: by the marge unhail'd
The shallop flitteth silken sail'd, Skimming down to Camelot.
A pearl garland winds her head:
She leaneth on a velvet bed,
Full royally apparelled, The Lady of Shalott.
