Verse 1
(E minor) (A minor) (E minor) Anybody seen
a knight pass this way
I saw him playing chess with Death (D major)
yesterday (E minor)
His crusade was a search for
God (C major) and they say (A minor) (D major)
It's been (E minor) a along way (D major) to
carry (E minor) (D major) on
(A minor)
Verse 2
(E minor)
Anybody hear of plague in this town
The town I've left behind was (D major)
burned to the ground (E minor)
A young girl on a stake her (C major) face
framed (D major) in flames (C major) cried
I'm not a witch (D major) God knows (A major)
my name (A minor)

Verse 3
(E minor)
The knight he watched with fear
He needed to know
He ran where he might feel
God's (D major) breath (E major)
And in the (E minor) misty church
He (C major) knelt to con (D major) fess
(C major) The face within (D major) the booth was
Mr. (Asus4) Death (A minor)
(B flat minor)
Verse 4
(F minor)
My life's a vain pursuit of
meaningless smiles
Why can't God touch me
with a sign (E flat major) (B flat minor)
(F minor) Perhaps there's no one there
(D flat major) answered the booth (E flat major) (D flat major)
And Death hid (E flat major) within his cloak
an (B flat minor) d smiled
Verse 5
(F minor)
This morning I played chess
with Death said the knight
We played that he might
grant me (E flat minor) time (E flat major) (F minor)
My bishop and my knight
will (D flat major) shatter his (E flat major) flanks
(D flat major) And still I might (E flat major) feel God's
heart in (B flat minor) mine
Verse 6
(B flat minor)
(F minor) And through confession's grille
Death's laughter was heard
The knight cried No you've
cheated (E flat major) me! (F minor)
But still I'll find a way
We'll (D flat major) meet once again (E flat major) (D flat major)
and once again (E flat major)

They met within (F sharp minor) the woods
the knight his squire and friends
And Death said now
the game shall (E major) end (F sharp minor)
The final move was made
The (D major) knight hung his head (E major)
And (D major) said you've won (E major) I've
nothing left (B minor) to play
Verse 8
(F sharp minor)
The minstrel filled with visions
sang to his love
To look against the stormy sky (E major) (F sharp minor)
The knight his squire and friends
(D major) Their hands held as (E major) one
(D major) Solemnly danced (E major) toward
(B minor) the dawn
Verse 9
(F sharp minor)
His hourglass in his hand (E major) his
scythe by his side (F sharp minor)
The master Death he leads
them (E major) on (F sharp minor)
The rain will wash away the
(D major) tears from their (E major) faces (E minor)
(D major) And as the thunder (E major) cracked
they were (F sharp minor) gone
