St Clive & the Dragon
Press song title below to hear some rock ‘n roll storytelling
V1
I have fought a firedrake Chords: A G E
He didn’t live in Honalee
I brought you back a blood red pearl
From the bottom of the deep blue sea A C B
I have killed the Kraken
I’ve drunk Medussa’s blood
But you never reckon
It’s ever good enough
You just send me off on quests D
I just can’t refuse
Even though I pass your tests D
I’m left feeling used B
V2
You chained yourself outside the Co-op
Right by the Cash Machine
Danger loomed above the roof tops
It was then I heard your screams
I was drinking in the White Horse
An inn of high renown
When I began to feel the force
It was then I began to frown
What do you do? C G
What do you do? Bb A
What do you do for me? C G A
What do you do? C G
What do you do? Bb A
What do you do for me? C D
V3
There came a dragon a breathing fire
With wings and horns and scales
The ladies gasped, they did admire
The length of the serpent’s tail
Despite my reservations
I had to stop this pillage
I had my obligations
To the people of this village
What do you do? C G
What do you do? Bb A
What do you do for me? C G A
What do you do? C G
What do you do? Bb A
What do you do for me? C D
All you do is pout and pose
I’m like a turd beneath your nose
I’d be the shadow of your dog
You’d change a prince into a frog
V4
I strode into the melee
Brandishing my sword
At last he begged for mercy
I banished him to Chagford
I’m your knight in shining armour
I’m a hero not a saint
But when I’d like some ardour
You start feeling faint.
What do you do? C G
What do you do? Bb A
What do you do for me? C G A
What do you do? C G
What do you do? Bb A
What do you do for me? C D
What do I get ? oh oh F G C
What do I get?
