        Bm
I have seen the ghost of old King Richard
 A                                 A   A Bm
Walking through the hall as if he were alive
          Bm
And with such an air of pain and sorrow
  A                       A  A   Bm
Trying to get back to the other side

        Bm
I have heard the tale of when King Richard
      A                     A A   Bm
Was granted a relic of the Holy Cross
          Bm
But from him 'twas stolen when in prison
 A                 A    A  Bm
Now he's greaving for the loss

Em    Bm
Oh a lack a day
 A                Bm
May good fortune come his way
Em    Bm
Oh a lack a lee
 A              A   A   Bm
May his spirit rest in peace

        Bm
I have seen the sword of old King Richard
 A                              A A Bm
Hanging with a scabbard at the fireside
        Bm
Such a mighty blade of Spanish silver
 A                        A A Bm
Keen and flashing in the firelight

        Bm
I have read the words of old King Richard
  A                         A A Bm
Standing at the walls of Jerusalem
         Bm
When he raised his voice to exhort his people
 A                             A A Bm
Ready for the battle with the Saracen

Em    Bm
Oh a lack a day
 A                Bm
May good fortune come his way
Em    Bm
Oh a lack a lee
 A              A   A   Bm
May his spirit rest in peace

Em    Bm
Oh a lack a day
 A                Bm
May good fortune come his way
Em    Bm
Oh a lack a lee
 A            A A Bm
May his spirit      rest in peace
