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

I have seen the ghost of old King Richard

Walking through the hall as if he were alive
