        Bm 
I have seen the ghost of old King Richard 
 A                                 A   A Bm 
Walking through the hall as if he were alive 
          Bm 
And with such an air of pain and sorrow 
  A                       A  A   Bm 
Trying to get back to the other side 

        Bm 
I have heard the tale of when King Richard 
      A                     A A   Bm 
Was granted a relic of the Holy Cross 
          Bm 
But from him 'twas stolen when in prison 
 A                 A    A  Bm 
Now he's greaving for the loss 

Em    Bm 
Oh a lack a day 
 A                Bm 
May good fortune come his way 
Em    Bm 
Oh a lack a lee 
 A              A   A   Bm 
May his spirit rest in peace 

        Bm 
I have seen the sword of old King Richard 
 A                              A A Bm 
Hanging with a scabbard at the fireside 
        Bm 
Such a mighty blade of Spanish silver 
 A                        A A Bm 
Keen and flashing in the firelight 

        Bm           
I have read the words of old King Richard 
  A                         A A Bm 
Standing at the walls of Jerusalem 
         Bm 
When he raised his voice to exhort his people 
 A                             A A Bm 
Ready for the battle with the Saracen 

Em    Bm 
Oh a lack a day 
 A                Bm 
May good fortune come his way 
Em    Bm 
Oh a lack a lee 
 A              A   A   Bm 
May his spirit rest in peace 

Em    Bm 
Oh a lack a day 
 A                Bm 
May good fortune come his way 
Em    Bm 
Oh a lack a lee 
 A            A A Bm 
May his spirit      rest in peace

        Bm 
I have seen the ghost of old King Richard 
 A                                 A   A Bm 
Walking through the hall as if he were alive
