G C G
Through the woodland, through the valley
D G
Comes a horseman wild and free
C G
Tilting at the windmills passing
D G
Who can the brave young horseman be
G C G
He is wild but he is mellow
D G
He is strong but he is weak
C G
He is cruel but he is gentle
C G
He is wise but he is meek
D D7
Reaching for his saddlebag
C G
He takes a battered book into his hand
D D7
Standing like a prophet bold
C G
He shouts across the ocean to the shore
D
Till he can shout no more
G C G
I have come o'er moor and mountain
D G
Like the hawk upon the wing
C G
I was once a shining knight
D G
Who was the guardian of a king
C G
I have searched the whole world over
D G
Looking for a place to sleep
C G
I have seen the strong survive
D G
And I have seen the lean grown weak
G C G
See the children of the earth
D G
Who wake to find the table bare
C G
See the gentry in the country
D G
Riding off to take the air
D D7
Reaching for his saddlebag
C G
He takes a rusty sword into his hand
D D7
Then striking up a knightly pose
C G
He shouts across the ocean to the shore
D
Till he can shout no more
G C G
See the jailor with his key
D G
Who locks away all trace of sin
C G
See the judge upon the bench
D G
Who tries the case as best he can
C G
See the wise and wicked ones
D G
Who feed upon life's sacred fire
C G
See the soldier with his gun
D G
Who must be dead to be admired
G C G
See the man who tips the needle
D G
See the man who buys and sells
C G
See the man who puts the collar
D G
On the ones who dare not tell
C G
See the drunkard in the tavern
D G
Stemming gold to make ends meet
C G
See the youth in ghetto black
D G
Condemned to life upon the street
D D7
Reaching for his saddlebag
C G
He takes a tarnished cross into his hand
D D7
Then standing like a preacher now
C G
He shouts across the ocean to the shore
D D7
Then in a blaze of tangled hooves
C G
He gallops off across the dusty plain
D
In vain to search again
C
Where no one will hear
G C G
Through the woodland, through the valley
D G
Comes a horseman wild and free
C G
Tilting at the windmills passing
D G
Who can the brave young horseman be
G C G
He is wild but he is mellow
D G
He is strong but he is weak
C G
He is cruel but he is gentle
C G
He is wise but he is meek
