A                     D/A        A                       E/A      A
Through the woodland through the valley comes a horseman wild and free
               D/A       A                               E/A      A
Tilting at the windmills passing who can the brave young horseman be
               D/A   A                        E/A   A
He is wild but he is mellow, he is strong but he is weak
                D/A   A                      E/A   A      A  E7/A  A
He is cruel but he is gentle, he is wise but he is meek


E/A                            D/A                            A
Reaching for his saddlebags he takes a battered book into his hand
E/A                           D/A                            A
Standing like prophet bold he shouts across the ocean to the shore
                         E     E7
    Till he can shout no more


A                D/A      A                     E/A     A
I have come o'er moor and mountain like a hawk upon the wing
             D/A     A                           E/A  A
I was once a shining knight who was the guardian of a king
                    D/A         A                   E/A      A
I have searched the whole world over, looking for a place to sleep
                D/A       A                        E/A       A
I have seen the strong survive and I have seen the lean grow weak


Intro chords: A, D/A, A, A, E7/A, A


A                D/A    A                          E/A   A
See the children of the earth who wake to find the table bare
               D/A    A                     E/A      A    A  E7/A  A
See the gentry in the country riding off to take the air


E                              D                            A
Reaching for his saddlebags he takes a rusty sword into his hand
     E                              D                              A
Then striking up a knightly pose he shouts across the ocean to the shore
                         E     E7
    Till he can shout no more


A              D/A              A              E/A      A
See the jailer with his key who locks away all trace of sin
               D/A     A                           E/A     A
See the judge upon the bench who tries the case as best he can
                 D/A    A                         E/A    A
See the wise and wicked ones who feed upon life's sacred fire
                D/A      A                       E/A  A
See the soldier with his gun who must be dead to be admired


Intro chords: A, D/A, A, A, E7/A, A


A               D/A      A                       E/A      A
See the man who tips the needle, see the man who buys and sells
                D/A      A                      E/A      A
See the one who puts the collar on the ones who dare not tell
                 D/A    A                       E/A       A
See the drunkard in the tavern stemming gold to make ends meet
                 D/A    A                        E/A      A    A  E7/A  A
See the youth in ghetto black condemned to life upon the street


E                              D                                A                       
Reaching for his saddlebags he takes a tarnished cross into his hand
E                                    D                              A
Then standing like a preacher now he shouts across the ocean to the shore
E                                    D                            A
Then in a blaze of tangled hooves he gallops off across the dusty plain
                  E                        D
In vain to search again, where no one will hear  (pause)

 
A                    D/A         A                       E/A      A
Through the woodland through the valley comes a horseman wild and free
               D/A       A                               E/A      A
Tilting at the windmills passing who can the brave young horseman be
               D/A   A                        E/A   A
He is wild but he is mellow, he is strong but he is weak
                D/A   A                      E/A   A      
He is cruel but he is gentle, he is wise but he is meek
