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

See the soldier with his gun who must be dead to be admired

See the one who puts the collar on the ones who dare not tell

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
