        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
G A Bm D A Bm G A Bm
        Bm
I have seen the ghost of old King Richard

 A                                 A   A Bm
Walking through the hall as if he were alive
