Verse 1
(G major) Riding, riding fast at midnight
Comes a horseman o 'er the (D major) plain
Press (C major) ing on to find a shel (G major) ter
From (D major) the icy wind and rain (G major)
The night, the night was black,
the wind blew stronger
Winter's rage can freeze
the blood with cold (D major)
And (C major) as he rides along, he won (G major) ders
If (D major) he can outrace the blinding (G major) snow
So cold (C major) and weary of the saddle, (G major) as (C major) he rides he races with the (D major) wind,
(C major) hoping that the distant
The sunlight before (G major) him is someone (D major)
who will let a stranger (G major) in
The wind, its endless rage, grew wilder
No one could hear him knocking at the (D major) door
He called (C major) to them, the howling wind grew wilder, (G major)
his voice (D major) could not be heard above the (G major) roar.
The night, the night was black,
the wind blew stronger,
Winter's rage can freeze
the blood with cold (D major)
And with (C major) the morning light
they found (G major) him
(D major) Underneath the mountain of snow (G major)
So (C major) cold and weary of the saddle (G major)
When (C major) he felt the warmth
that heaven sent (D major)
He's (C major) resting now forever in the sunshine (G major)
The an (D major) gels must have let the stranger (G major) in
