4       5   6   6       -6   -6   6  5

Through the woodland, through the valley
 4    5   6  5    -4   -4   5

Comes a horseman wild and free
 4   5  6   6    6  -6    6  5

Tilting at the windmills passing
 4   4   5   6     5     -4  -3  4

Who can the brave young horseman be
4  5   6    6  6  -6  6  5

He is wild but he is mellow
4  5     6    5  -4 -4   5

He is strong but he is weak
4  5    6    6  6  -6  6  5

He is cruel but he is gentle
4  5    6   5  -4 -3  4

He is wise but he is meek
 -7  -7  -7   7  -8 -8 8

Reaching for his saddlebag
-8  7    7  7  -7    -7  -6 6 -5   6

He takes a battered book into his hand
-7  -7   -7   7  -8 -8   8

Standing like a prophet bold
-8   7    7  7   -7  -7 -6 6  -5    6

He shouts across the ocean to the shore
 5   5   5   -5   5   -4

Till he can shout no more
4  5    6    6    -6  -6   6   5
I have come o'er moor and mountain
 4   5    6   5 -4 -3   4

Like the hawk upon the wing
4  5   6   6 -6  -6    6

I was once a shining knight
 4   4   5   6  5    -4 -4  4

Who was the guardian of  a king
4   5      6     6   6     -6   6 5

I have searched the whole world over
 4   5   6  5  -4   -4   5

Looking for a place to sleep
4  5    6    6    -6    -6  6

I have seen the strong survive
 5  4  5    6    5   -4   -3    4

And I have seen the lean grown weak
 4   5   6   6   -6  -6   6
See the children of the earth
5    4   5   6    5  -4 -4  5

Who wake to find the table bare
 4   4   6  6  -6  -6  6  5

See the gentry in the country
 4  5   6  4   -4  -3   4

Riding off to take the air
 -7 -7    -7  7  -8 -8 8
Reaching for his saddlebag
-8   7   7 7 -7    -7  -6 6 -5   6

He takes a rusty sword into his hand
 6    -7 -7   -7 7  -8  -8   8

Then striking up a knightly pose
-8    7   7  7   -7  -7 -6 6  -5   6

He shouts across the ocean to the shore
-4   5   5    -5  5   -4

Till he can shout no more
 4   5   6  6   6   -6   6
See the jailor with his key
 5    4   5 6   5   -4   3   4

Who locks away all trace of sin
 4  5    6    6 -6 -6   6

See the judge upon the bench
 5    4    5   6   5   -4  -4  5

Who tries the case as best he can
 4   5   6    6   6 -6   6

See the wise and wicked ones
 5    4  5 6    5    -4 -4   5

Who feed upon life's sacred fire
 4   5   6  6    6   -6   6

See the soldier with his gun
 4   4   5    6  5  -4  -3 4

Who must be dead to be admired
 4   5   6   6   -6  -6   6  5
See the man who tips the needle
 4   5   6   5   -4  -4   5

See the man who buys and sells
 4   5   6   6  -6   -6   6 5

See the man who puts the collar
4   5    6   5   -4  -3   4

On the ones who dare not tell
 4   5    6  6   -6  -6  6  5

See the drunkard in the tavern
  4   5   6   5   -4   -4   5

Stemming gold to make ends meet
 4   5    6   6   6 -6   6

See the youth in ghetto black
 5    4   5   6   5 -4  -3   4

Condemned to life upon the street
 -7  -7   -7  7   -8 -8 8
Reaching for his saddlebag
-8   7   7   7  -7    -7   -6 6 -5   6

He takes a tarnished cross into his hand
 -7  -7   -7  7  -8 -8    8

Standing like a preacher now
-8   7     7  7  -7  -7 -6  6 -5   6

He shouts across the ocean to the shore
 6   -7 -7  -7   7   -8 -8   8

Then in  a blaze of tangled hooves
-8   7  7   7  -7 -7  -6  6 -5    6

He gallops off across the dusty plain
5    5  5   -5    5 -4

In vain to search again
 -4   -4  5   -4   4

Where no one will hear
4       5   6   6       -6   -6   6  5

Through the woodland, through the valley
 4    5   6  5    -4   -4   5

Comes a horseman wild and free
 4   5  6   6    6  -6    6  5

Tilting at the windmills passing
 4   4   5   6     5     -4  -3  4

Who can the brave young horseman be
4  5   6    6  6  -6  6  5

He is wild but he is mellow
4  5     6    5  -4 -4   5

He is strong but he is weak
4  5    6    6  6  -6  6  5

He is cruel but he is gentle
4  5    6   5  -4 -3  4

He is wise but he is meek
