Intro: G minorGm C minorCm D7D7 G minorGm


    G minorGm       Gm7Gm7
    Anybody seen a Knight pass this way?

    G minorGm                 FF
    I saw him playing chess with Death yesterday

    G minorGm              Eb MajorEb       FF
    His crusade was a search for God and they say

       Eb MajorEb     FF       C minorCm
    It's been a long way to carry on

    G minorGm       Gm7Gm7
    Anybody hear of plague in this town?

    G minorGm              FF
    The town I've left behind was burnt to the ground

    G minorGm              Eb MajorEb       FF
    A augmentedA young girl on a stake, her face framed in flames

        Eb MajorEb    FF            Eb MajorEb
    Cried "I'm not a witch, God knows my name"


    G minorGm               Gm7Gm7
    The Knight he watched with fear, he needed to know

    G minorGm                FF
    He ran where he might feel God's breath

    G minorGm             Eb MajorEb    FF
    And in the misty church he knelt to confess

    Eb MajorEb         FF     C minorCm     C# minorC#m
    The face within the booth was Mister Death


    G# minorG#m           G#m7G#m7
    "My life's a vain pursuit of meaningless miles"

    G# minorG#m             F#F#
    "Why can't God touch me with a sign?"

    G# minorG#m              E MajorE      F#F#
    "Perhaps there's no-one there" answered the booth

    E MajorE         F#F#        C# minorC#m
    And Death hid within his cloak and smiled

    G# minorG#m                G#m7G#m7
    "This morning I played chess with Death" said the Knight

    G# minorG#m                F#F#
    "We played that he might grant me time"

    G# minorG#m            E MajorE        F#F#
    "My Bishops and my Knights will shatter his flanks"

    E MajorE         F#F#        C# minorC#m
    "And still I might feel God's heart in mine"


    G# minorG#m               G#m7G#m7
    And through confession's grille Death's laughter was heard

    G# minorG#m                  F#F#
    The Knight cried "No - you've cheated me!"

    G# minorG#m                E MajorE     F#F#
    "But still I'll find a way. We'll meet once again"

    E MajorE        F#F#     C# minorC#m  DmDm
    "And once again continue to play"


    A minorAm             Am7Am7
    They met within the woods, the Knight, his Squire and friends

    A minorAm              G+G
    And Death said "Now the game shall end"

    A minorAm              FF        G+G
    The final move was made, the Knight hung his head

    FF           G+G          DmDm
    And said "You've won. I've nothing left to play"


    A minorAm                 Am7Am7
    The minstrel, filled with visions, sang to his love

    A minorAm             G+G
    To look against the stormy sky

    A minorAm                 FF          G+G
    The Knight, his Squire and friends, their hands held as one

    FF    G+G         DmDm
    Solemnly danced towards the dawn


    A minorAm             G+G
    His hourglass in his hand, his scythe by his side

    A minorAm               G+G
    The master Death, he leads them on

    A minorAm             FF        G+G
    The rain will wash away the tears from their faces

    FF         G+G         A minorAm
    And as the thunder cracked, they were gone.


    G+G A minorAm G+G A minorAm
