Standard (EADGBE)

GPale was the woundedC knight that Gbore the rowan sEm7hield

GLoud and cruel were theD7 raven's Emcries that fCeasted on the fieldD

 Saying bGeck water cold and Cclear will Gnever clean your wEm7ound

 There's Gnone but the witch of the D7WestmorlEmand canC make thee hale and Dsound

 So Gturn, turn your stallion's Chead til his rGed mane flies in the wEm7ind

 And the Grider of the D7moon goes Emby and the bCright star falls beDhind

 And cGlear was the paley Cmoon when his sGhadow passed him bEm7y

 BelGow the hills were the brD7ightest Emstars when he hCeard the owlet cDry

 Saying "GWhy do you ride this Cway, and Gwherefore came you herEm7e?"

 "I sGeek the Witch of the D7WestmorlaEmnd who Cdwells by the winding Dmere"

 And it's Gweary by the UllswaCter and the Gmisty brake fern wEm7ay

 Til Gthrough the cleft of the D7Kirkstone EmPass the Cwinding water lDay

 He said "GLie down, my brindled Chound, and Grest ye, my good grey Em7hawk"

 And Gthee, my steed, may gD7raze thy Emfill for I Cmust dismount and Dwalk

 But Gcome when you hear my Chorn and Ganswer swift the cEm7all

 For I Gfear ere the sun will D7rise this Emmorn ye will Cserve me best of Dall."

 And it's Gdown to the water's Cbrim he's Gborn the rowan Em7shield

 And the Ggoldenrod he D7has cast Emin to Csee what the lake might Dyield

 And Gwet rose she from the Clake, and Gfast and fleet went Em7she

 One haGlf the form of a D7maiden Emfair with a jCet black mare's bodDy

 And Gloud, long and shrill he Cblew til his Gsteed was by his Em7side

 High Goverhead the D7grey hawk Emflew and Cswiftly he did Dride

 Say G"Course well, my brindled Chound, and Gfetch me the jet black Em7mare

GStoop and strike, my D7good grey Emhawk, and Cbring me the maiden Dfair."

 She said "GPray, sheathe thy silvery Csword. Lay dGown thy rowan shiEm7eld

 For I Gsee by the briny D7blood that Emflows you've been Cwounded in the Dfield"

 And she Gstood in a gown of velvet Cblue, bound Ground with a silver Em7chain

 and she's Gkissed his pale lips D7one and Emtwice and Cthree times round Dagain

 And she's Gbound his wounds with the goldenCrod, full Gfast in her arms he Em7lay

 and Ghe has risen D7hale and Emsound with the Csun high in the Dday

 She said "GRide with your brindled hound at Cheel and your Ggood grey hawk in Em7hand

 There's Gnone can harm the D7knight who's Emlain with the CWitch of the WestmorDland"
