Notes: E|-----|Although several songbooks have written this song out in the key of C, Lightfoot *ALWAYS* uses a capo. For this song, the capo is used on the second fret and the chords are "normally". They *sound* a whole step higher. Is this confusing? Just put a capo on the 2nd fret, pop on record or CD, and play along!!! You'll sound fine and in tune!!! Listen how the song pulses on the A string rhythmically -- feel that galloping horse. The chorus changes from the E/A, D/A, A pattern the second time round, to the "normal" E, A, D chords. should too, if you want to sound authentic. Fingerpick the song using your thumb, index, and middle fingers. That's how The Man does it. Have fun!!!The Chords: E|-----|E|-----|The names may be a bit wrong since it's getting late, but the chord forms are correct. The numbers with the recommended finger to use, starting with 1=index, etc... Advanced players choose your own. :-) Look for the "1"'s -- they get lost in the text easily../ A D(A bass) E(A bass) E(D/A) (E/A) =========== =========== =========== =========== | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1 | |E|-----|E|-----|- E|-----|E|-----|- E|-----|E|-----|- E|-----|E|-----|- E|-----|E|-----|- E|-----|E|-----|- E|-----|E|-----|- E|-----|E|-----|- E|-----|E|-----|- E|-----|E|-----|- E|-----|E|-----|- E|-----|E|-----|- E|-----|E|-----|- E|-----|E|-----|- E|-----|E|-----|- E|-----|E|-----|- E|-----|E|-----|- E|-----|E|-----|- E|-----|E|-----|- E|-----|E|-----|-E7(A bass) D E7(E7/A) =========== =========== =========== =========== | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1 | | | | | | | |E|-----|E|-----|- E|-----|E|-----|- E|-----|E|-----|- E|-----|E|-----|- E|-----|E|-----|- E|-----|E|-----|- E|-----|E|-----|- E|-----|E|-----|- E|-----|E|-----|- E|-----|E|-----|- E|-----|E|-----|- E|-----|E|-----|- E|-----|E|-----|- E|-----|E|-----|- E|-----|E|-----|- E|-----|E|-----|- | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | E|-----|E|-----|- E|-----|E|-----|- E|-----|E|-----|- E|-----|E|-----|- The Song: E|-----|--- Intro/fill: (Gord's part) (BIG kudos to anyone who posts or emails me Red E|-----|E|-----| Shea's original -- I can't get the rhythm right and I don'tlike Terry's way so much)A, D/A, A, A, E7/A, AVerses, Choruses: E|-----|E|-----|E|-----|-A D/A A E/A A Through the woodland through the valley comes a horseman wild and freeD/A A E/A A Tilting at the windmills passing who can the brave young horseman beD/A A E/A A He is wild but he is mellow, he is strong but he is weakD/A A E/A A A E7/A A He is cruel but he is gentle, he is wise but he is meekE/A D/A A Reaching for his saddlebags he takes a battered book into his handE/A D/A A Standing like prophet bold he shouts across the ocean to the shoreE E7 Till he can shout no moreA D/A A E/A A I have come o'er moor and mountain like a hawk upon the wingD/A A E/A A I was once a shining knight who was the guardian of a kingD/A A E/A A I have searched the whole world over, looking for a place to sleepD/A A E/A A I have seen the strong survive and I have seen the lean grow weak Intro chords: A, D/A, A, A, E7/A, AA D/A A E/A A See the children of the earth who wake to find the table bareD/A A E/A A A E7/A A See the gentry in the country riding off to take the airE D A Reaching for his saddlebags he takes a rusty sword into his handE D A Then striking up a knightly pose he shouts across the ocean to the shoreE E7 Till he can shout no moreA D/A A E/A A See the jailer with his key who locks away all trace of sinD/A A E/A A See the judge upon the bench who tries the case as best he canD/A A E/A A See the wise and wicked ones who feed upon life's sacred fireD/A A E/A A See the soldier with his gun who must be dead to be admired Intro chords: A, D/A, A, A, E7/A, AA D/A A E/A A See the man who tips the needle, see the man who buys and sellsD/A A E/A A See the one who puts the collar on the ones who dare not tellD/A A E/A A See the drunkard in the tavern stemming gold to make ends meetD/A A E/A A A E7/A A See the youth in ghetto black condemned to life upon the streetE D A Reaching for his saddlebags he takes a tarnished cross into his handE D A Then standing like a preacher now he shouts across the ocean to the shoreE D A Then in a blaze of tangled hooves he gallops off across the dusty plainE D In vain to search again, where no one will hear (pause)A D/A A E/A A Through the woodland through the valley comes a horseman wild and freeD/A A E/A A Tilting at the windmills passing who can the brave young horseman beD/A A E/A A He is wild but he is mellow, he is strong but he is weakD/A A E/A A He is cruel but he is gentle, he is wise but he is meek
