G                      C             G                     D      G
Through the woodland through the valley comes a horseman wild and free
                 C            G                            D      G
Tilting at the windmills passing who can the brave young horseman be
               C      G                       D      G
He is wild but he is mellow, he is strong but he is weak
                C         G                  D      G
He is cruel but he is gentle, he is wise but he is meek

D                               C                              G
Reaching for his saddlebags he takes a battered book into his hand
D                               C                              G
Standing like prophet bold he shouts across the ocean to the shore
                          D
    Till he can shout no more

♫ Verse 2:
G                  C        G                    D       G
I have come o'er moor and mountain like a hawk upon the wing
               C       G                          D    G
I was once a shining knight who was the guardian of a king
                      C          G                   D         G
I have searched the whole world over, looking for a place to sleep
                  C       G                         D         G
I have seen the strong survive and I have seen the lean grow weak

D                                C                           G
Reaching for his saddlebags he takes a rusty sword into his hand
       D                              C                              G
Then striking up a knightly pose he shouts across the ocean to the shore
                          D
    Till he can shout no more

♫ Verse 3:
                 C       G                       D         G
See the drunkard in the tavern stemming gold to make ends meet
                   C     G                        D        G
See the youth in ghetto black condemned to life upon the street
                   C     G                         D      G
See the wise and wicked ones who feed upon life's sacred fire
                  C      G                       D   G
See the soldier with his gun who must be dead to be admired

D                                C                               G
Reaching for his saddlebags he takes a tarnished cross into his hand
D                                      C                              G
Then standing like a preacher now he shouts across the ocean to the shore
D                                      C                            G
Then in a blaze of tangled hooves he gallops off across the dusty plain
                     D                      C
In vain to search again, where no one will hear  (pause)

                C         G                  D      G
He is cruel but he is gentle, he is wise but he is meek
