We used to call it Camelot

With all them ladies of Shalott

The people liked to Lancelot
D C G
At the bed of roses

And what went on behind the scenes

Was way beyond your wildest dreams

Life was burstin' at the scenes
D C G
In the bed of roses

And the band played all night long

The band played all night long

Song after song after song after song
D C G
In the bed of roses
G Am
The boy stood on the burning deck
D C G
The strap was buried round my neck
Am
My fingers bleeding on the frets
D C G
At the bed of roses
Am
We slept on blankets on the floor
D C G
A grumbling drummer saddle sore
Am
Seven hours and sometimes more
D C G
At the bed of roses
Am
And the lamps sway side to side
D C G
The lamps sway side to side
Am
If the lamps don't sway you just died
D C G
At the bed of roses
G Am
Temptations reared their ugly heads
D C G
Some things better off unsaid

But I still got the pictures in my head
D C G
Of the bed of roses

And people rave about 54

Done for better far before
D C G
At the bed of roses

And Roy stays forever young

Roy stays forever young

Roy stays forever young

At the bed of roses

So unto us a club was born
D C G
A fallout shelter from the storm
Am
And I was proud to be a thorn
D C G
In the bed of roses
Am
You can never go back so they say
D C G
And it's a bank now anyway
Am
But I can still feel it like yesterday
D C G
The bed of roses
G Am
And the lamps swayed side to side
D C G
The lamps swayed side to side

Local gangsters and their weekend brides
D C G
In the bed of roses
Am
And the band played all night long
D C G
The band played all night long
Am
The silver bugs and Sheridan
D C G
Down the bed of roses
