  			Em                          B7             Em 
Bravely bold Sir Robin rode forth from Camelot  
Em                        D            G      
He was not afraid to die, oh brave Sir Robin  
G             D                G               D 
He was not at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways  
Em     D      G                D        B7    
Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Robin  
      
Em                                       B7            Em      
He was not in the least bit scared to be mashed into a pulp  
Em                             D              G 
Or to have his eyes gouged out and his elbows broken  
G                    D             G           D 
To have his kneecaps split and his body burned away 
        Em        D          G                  D       B7 
And his limbs all hacked and mangled, brave Sir Robin  

      G                      D 
His head smashed in, and his heart cut out  
        G                      D           
And his liver removed, and his bowels unplugged  
        G                       D 
And his nostrils raped, and his bottom burned off  
        G 
And his penis ...  

Em              B7   Em 
Brave Sir Robin ran away,  
Em           B7    Em 
Bravely ran away, away  
     G                 D             Em                 B7   
When danger reared its ugly head, he bravely turned his tail and fled 
     G               D                Em            B7 
Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about and gallantly, he chickened out 
  Em     D     Em     D       Em     D     Em       D 
Bravely taking to his feet He beat a very brave retreat 
G       Am     D            G     B7 
Bravest of the brave, Sir Robin  
G       Am     D            G 
Bravest of the brave, Sir Robin
