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 
 
 
   { guitar solo } 
 
 
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 
 
 
  { gutar solo } 
 
 
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 
 
 
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
