To the days of Avalon Where magic rules as king
B Dm F C F
The moon beneath the castle walls As the nightingale sings...

The golden bird He gave to me What happiness he brings
B Dm F C F
Like a star on a Christmas tree As the nightingale sings
C F C F
And so we sat, hand in hand and watched the fireflies

And never spoke a single word But lived to do or die

We lived to do or die

Back to the days of Avalon Where magic ruled as king

The moon beneath the castle walls As the nightingale sings...
