Verse 1
G

Through the woodland,

through the valley

Comes a horseman wild and free

Tilting at the windmills passing

Who can the brave young horseman be

He is wild but he is mellow

He is strong but he is weak

He is cruel but he is gentle
D
G

He is wise but he is meek
Verse 2
G

Reaching for his saddlebag
C

He takes a battered book

into his hand

Standing like a prophet bold
C
G

He shouts across the ocean to the shore
D
Am
G

Till he can shout no more
Verse 3

I have come o'er moor and mountain

Like the hawk upon the wing

I was once a shining knight

Who was the guardian of a king

I have searched the whole world over

Looking for a place to sleep

I have seen the strong survive
Verse 4

And I have seen the lean grown weak
G


See the children of the earth

Who wake to find the table bare

See the gentry in the country
Verse 5

Riding off to take the air
D

Reaching for his saddlebag
C
G

He takes a rusty sword into his hand
D

Then striking up a knightly pose
C
G

He shouts across the ocean to the shore
D

Till he can shout no more
Verse 6
G

See the jailor with his key

Who locks away all trace of sin

See the judge upon the bench

Who tries the case as best he can

See the wise and wicked ones

Who feed upon life's sacred fire

See the soldier with his gun
Verse 7

Who must be dead to be admired
G


See the man who tips the needle

See the man who buys and sells

See the man who puts the collar

On the ones who dare not tell

See the drunkard in the tavern

Stemming gold to make ends meet

See the youth in ghetto black
Verse 8

Condemned to life upon the street
D

Reaching for his saddlebag
C

He takes a tarnished cross
G

into his hand
D

Then standing like a preacher now

He shouts across the ocean to the shore

Then in a blaze of tangled hooves
C
G

He gallops off across the dusty plain
D

In vain to search again
C

Where no one will hear
Verse 9
G

Through the woodland,

through the valley

Comes a horseman wild and free

Tilting at the windmills passing

Who can the brave young horseman be

He is wild but he is mellow

He is strong but he is weak

He is cruel but he is gentle
Outro 1

He is wise but he is meek
G

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
