Verses, Choruses:
----------------
[A]Through the woodland t[D/A]hrough the [A]valley comes a horseman [E/A]wild and [A]free
Tilting at the [D/A]windmills [A]passing who can the brave young [E/A]horseman [A]be
He is wild but [D/A]he is [A]mellow, he is strong but [E/A]he is [A]weak
He is cruel but [D/A]he is [A]gentle, he is wise but [E/A]he is [A]meek
[E/A]Reaching for his saddlebags he [D/A]takes a battered book into his [A]hand
[E/A]Standing like prophet bold he [D/A]shouts across the ocean to the [A]shore
Till he can shout no [E]more
[A]I have come o'er [D/A]moor and [A]mountain like a hawk u[E/A]pon the [A]wing
I was once a [D/A]shining [A]knight who was the guardian [E/A]of a [A]king
I have searched the [D/A]whole world [A]over, looking for a [E/A]place to [A]sleep
I have seen the [D/A]strong sur[A]vive and I have seen the [E/A]lean grow [A]weak
Intro chords: A, D/A, A, A, E7/A, A
[A]See the children [D/A]of the [A]earth who wake to find the [E/A]table [A]bare
See the gentry [D/A]in the [A]country riding off to [E/A]take the [A]air
[E]Reaching for his saddlebags he [D]takes a rusty sword into his [A]hand
Then [E]striking up a knightly pose he [D]shouts across the ocean to the [A]shore
Till he can shout no [E]more
[A]See the jailer [D/A]with his key who [A]locks away all [E/A]trace of [A]sin
See the judge u[D/A]pon the [A]bench who tries the case as [E/A]best he [A]can
See the wise and [D/A]wicked [A]ones who feed upon life's [E/A]sacred [A]fire
See the soldier [D/A]with his [A]gun who must be dead to [E/A]be ad[A]mired
Intro chords: A, D/A, A, A, E7/A, A
[A]See the man who [D/A]tips the [A]needle, see the man who [E/A]buys and [A]sells
See the one who [D/A]puts the [A]collar on the ones who [E/A]dare not [A]tell
See the drunkard [D/A]in the [A]tavern stemming gold to [E/A]make ends [A]meet
See the youth in [D/A]ghetto [A]black condemned to life u[E/A]pon the s[A]treet[A]
Reaching for his saddlebags he [D]takes a tarnished cross into his [A]hand
[E]Then standing like a preacher now he [D]shouts across the ocean to the [A]shore
[E]Then in a blaze of tangled hooves he [D]gallops off across the dusty [A]plain
In vain to search [E]again, where no one will [D]hear (pause)
[A]Through the woodland [D/A]through the [A]valley comes a horseman [E/A]wild and [A]free
Tilting at the [D/A]windmills [A]passing who can the brave young [E/A]horseman [A]be
He is wild but [D/A]he is [A]mellow, he is strong but [E/A]he is [A]weak
He is cruel but [D/A]he is [A]gentle, he is wise but [E/A]he is [A]meek
