Sweet Sir Galahad

(Joan Baez)

Composer: Joan Baez | Transcriber/Arranger: Lindsay Straw | Key: Bb (G w/ capo 3) | Tuning: Standard

I honestly don't give enough credit to what a major influence Joan was in my early years. I can still remember picking up "Diamonds & Rust" from the Billings Public Library, and the mix of not really being quite into her voice yet but still finding her so compelling I had to keep listening. Once I discovered her earlier traditional material, though, I think I was pretty well sold. That led to her sister Mimi, who she wrote this exquisitely beautiful song for after the death of her husband Richard Fariña.
