Dancing With the Moonlit Knight Lyrics

Genesis - Dancing with the Moonlit Knight
from Selling England by the Pound
The other copies of this song are not very good. Here's a mostly
accurate chord transcription, with a few tabbed suggestions.
Go check out the guitar pro copy if you want the instrumental parts.
"Can you tell me where my coutry lies?"
said the unifaun to his true love's eyes.
"It lies with me!" cried the Queen of Maybe
for her merchandise he traded in his prize.
"Paper late" cried a voice in the crowd,
mm mm hmm old man dies
The note he left was signed "Old Father Thames",
it seems he's drowned;
selling England by the pound
Citizens of Hope and Glory, time goes by
it's the time of your life
Easy now, sit you down,
Chewing through you Wimpey dreams
they eat without a sound;
digesting England by the pound
Young man says "You are what you eat" - eat well.
Old man says "You are what you wear" - wear well.
You know what you are you don't give a damn;
Bursting your belt that is your homemade sham. The captain leads his
Dance right on through the night
join the dance
Follow on
till the Grail sun sets in the mould
Follow on till the gold is cold
Dancing out with the moon - lit knight
Knights of the Green Shield stamp and shout

There's a fat old lady outside the saloon
Laying out the credit cards she plays fortune
The deck is uneven right from the start
And all of their hands are playing apart. The captain leads his
Dance right on through the night
join the dance
Follow on, a round table-talking down we go
You're the show, off we go with
you play the hobbyhorse,
I'll play the fool, we'll tease the bull ringing
Round and loud loud and round
Follow on, with a twist of the world we go
Follow on till the gold is cold
Dancing out with the moon - lit knight
Knights of the Green Shield stamp and shout
