[Intro]
Gm Dm Gm Dm
Gm Dm Gm Dm
[Verse]
Dm Gm Dm
Hear me now oh thou bleak and unbearable world
Gm A7
Thou art base and debauched as can be
Dm Gm Dm
And a knight with his banners all bravely unfurled
Em Cm D
Now hurls down his gauntlet to thee!
[Chorus]
G
I am I, Don Quixote
The Lord of La Mancha
Bm
Destroyer of Evil am I.
G
I will march to the sound of
The trumpets of glory
Bm D
Forever to conquer or die!
[Verse]
Dm Gm Dm
Hear me heathens and wizards and serpents of sin
Gm A7
All your dastardly doings are past
Dm Gm Dm
For a holy endeavor is now to begin
Em Cm D
And virtue shall triumph at last!
[Chorus]
G
I am I, Don Quixote
The Lord of La Mancha
Bm
A Name all the world soon will know.
G
And the wild winds of fortune
Will carry me onward
Bm D
Oh, whither so ever they blow.
[Segue]
Bm D
Whither so ever they blow
G
Onward to Glory I go!
[Chorus]
G
I am I, Don Quixote
The Lord of La Mancha
Bm
A Name all the world soon will know.
G
And the wild winds of fortune
Will carry me onward
Bm D
Oh, whither so ever they blow.
[Outro]
Bm D
Whither so ever they blow
G
Onward to Glory I go!
