E                  E

the only thing better is if I were squirtin'
        A                          E
there's no one here to love on me today

for the maidens on holiday
         F#   A         E

verse 2= i'm a sorry sorry knight in a horrible castle

         for the maidens on holiday, yeah the maidens on holiday

F#
I ain't nothin' but chivalrous
B
ain't never been nothing nasty between us
F#
she knows where she stands
B                 A              
on the heart of a broken man

         E
verse 3= it's gonna be bad no matter what
         so i might as well go on ahead and act like a butt
