_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ Anybody seen a _ knight pass this way? _
_ _ I saw him playing chess with [F] _ death yesterday _
_ _ [Gm] His _ _ _ crusade was a search [Eb] for God and they [F] say
_ _ [Gm] It's been a long [F] way _ [A] to [Gm] carry _ _ on _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Anybody hear of plague in this town?
_ _ The town I've left _ behind [F] was burned to the ground
_ [Gm] A young girl on a stake, [Eb] her _ face [F] framed in _ [Eb] flames
Cried, I'm [F] not a witch, _ [C] God knows [D] my _ [Gm] name _
The _ knight he watched with fear, _ _ he needed to know _
_ He ran where he might feel [G] God's [F] breath
_ And _
_ [Gm] _ _ in the misty church [Eb] he _ knelt [F] to confess
_ [Eb] The _ [F] face within the booth was [Gm] Mr.
_ Death
_ [Cm] _
_ _ [Abm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ My life's a vain pursuit of _ [Ebm] meaningless _ [Abm]
miles
_ Why can't God touch me [Gb] with a _ sign? _ _ _
_ _ [Abm] _ Perhaps there's no one there, [E] _ _ and [Gb] said the booth
_ [E] _ And death [Gb] hid within his [Bb] cloak and _ smiled _ _
_ [Abm] _ _ This morning I played chess with death, said the knight
_ We played that he might [Gb] grant me time _ _ _
_ [Dbm] _ [Ab] My bishop and my knights _ [E] will shatter [Gb] his flanks
_ [E] _ And still [Gb] I might feel God's heart [Dbm] in _ mine _ _
_ _ [Abm] _ And through confession's grill, _ [B] _ death's laughter was heard
[Abm] _ The knight cried, no, you've cheated [Gb] me
_ But _
_ _ [Abm] _ still I'll find a way, [E] we'll meet once [Gb] _
again
_ [E] And once again [Gb] _
continue to _ play
_ [E] _ _
[Dbm] _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ They met within the woods, _ the knight, his squire and friends
_ And death said now the [G] game shall end
The _
_ _ [Am] _ final move was made, [F] the [Cm] knight hung [G] his head _
[F] And said, you've won, [G] I've nothing left to _ [Dm] play _ _ _
_ _ [Am] The minstrel filled with visions [C] _ sang to his love
_ [Am] To look against the [G] stormy _ sky _ _ _
The _ [Am] _ knight, his squire and friends, [F] their hand [G] held as one _
_ [F] _ _ Solidly [G] danced towards the _ [F] dawn _ _ _
_ [Am] _ His hourglass in his hand, [G] _ _ his sight by his side
_ [Am] The master death, he [G] leads them _ on
_ The _
_ [Am] _ rain washed away the [F] tears from [G] their _ faces
[F] And as the [G] thunder cracked, [Am] they were gone
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _

[Am] _ [F] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
