Verses, Choruses:
LA RE/LA LA MI/LA LA
Through the woodland through the valley comes a horseman wild and free
RE/LA LA MI/LA LA
Tilting at the windmills passing who can the brave young horseman be
RE/LA LA MI/LA LA
He is wild but he is mellow, he is strong but he is weak
RE/LA LA MI/LA LA LA MI7/LA LA
He is cruel but he is gentle, he is wise but he is meek
MI/LA RE/LA LA
Reaching for his saddlebags he takes a battered book into his hand
MI/LA RE/LA LA
Standing like prophet bold he shouts across the ocean to the shore
MI MI7
Till he can shout no more
LA RE/LA LA MI/LA LA
I have come o'er moor and mountain like a hawk upon the wing
RE/LA LA MI/LA LA
I was once a shining knight who was the guardian of a king
RE/LA LA MI/LA LA
I have searched the whole world over, looking for a place to sleep
RE/LA LA MI/LA LA
I have seen the strong survive and I have seen the lean grow weak
Intro chords: A, D/A, A, A, E7/A, A
LA RE/LA LA MI/LA LA
See the children of the earth who wake to find the table bare
RE/LA LA MI/LA LA LA MI7/LA LA
See the gentry in the country riding off to take the air
MI RE LA
Reaching for his saddlebags he takes a rusty sword into his hand
MI RE LA
Then striking up a knightly pose he shouts across the ocean to the shore
MI MI7
Till he can shout no more
LA RE/LA LA MI/LA LA
See the jailer with his key who locks away all trace of sin
RE/LA LA MI/LA LA
See the judge upon the bench who tries the case as best he can
RE/LA LA MI/LA LA
See the wise and wicked ones who feed upon life's sacred fire
RE/LA LA MI/LA LA
See the soldier with his gun who must be dead to be admired

See the man who tips the needle, see the man who buys and sells
RE/LA LA MI/LA LA
See the one who puts the collar on the ones who dare not tell
RE/LA LA MI/LA LA
See the drunkard in the tavern stemming gold to make ends meet
RE/LA LA MI/LA LA LA MI7/LA LA
See the youth in ghetto black condemned to life upon the street
MI RE LA
Reaching for his saddlebags he takes a tarnished cross into his hand
MI RE LA
Then standing like a preacher now he shouts across the ocean to the shore
MI RE LA
Then in a blaze of tangled hooves he gallops off across the dusty plain
MI RE
In vain to search again, where no one will hear (pause)
LA RE/LA LA MI/LA LA
Through the woodland through the valley comes a horseman wild and free
RE/LA LA MI/LA LA
Tilting at the windmills passing who can the brave young horseman be
RE/LA LA MI/LA LA
He is wild but he is mellow, he is strong but he is weak
RE/LA LA MI/LA LA
He is cruel but he is gentle, he is wise but he is meek
