Scott Walker - The seventh seal

^GmAnybody seen a ^Gm7Knight pass this way? ^GmI saw him playing chess with Death ^Fyesterday ^GmHis crusade was a search for ^EbGod and they say^F It's ^Ebbeen a long ^Fway to carry on^Cm

^GmAnybody hear of ^Gm7plague in this town? ^GmThe town I've left behind was ^Fburnt to the ground ^GmA young girl on a stake, her ^Ebface framed in ^Fflames Cried &^Ebquot;I'm n^Fot a witch, God knows my ^Ebname"

^GmThe Knight he watched with fear,^Gm7 he needed to know ^GmHe ran where he might feel God's ^Fbreath ^GmAnd in the misty church he ^Ebknelt to ^Fconfess ^EbThe face within the ^Fbooth was ^CmMister Death^C#m

^G#m"My life's a vain pu^G#m7rsuit of meaningless miles" ^G#m"Why can't God touch me ^F#with a sign?" ^G#m"Perhaps there's no-one th^Eere" ans^F#wered the booth ^EAnd Death hid with^F#in his cloak and ^C#msmiled

^G#m"This morning I played chess ^G#m7with Death" said the Knight ^G#m"We played that he might gran^F#t me time" ^G#m"My Bishops and my Kni^Eghts will shatter^F# his flanks" ^E"And still I m^F#ight feel God's h^C#meart in mine"

^G#mAnd through confession's grille ^G#m7Death's laughter was heard ^G#mThe Knight cried "No - you've che^F#ated me!" ^G#m"But still I'll find a way. W^Ee'll meet o^F#nce again" ^E"And once a^F#gain continu^C#me to p^Dmlay"

^AmThey met within the woods, ^Am7the Knight, his Squire and friends ^AmAnd Death said "Now the ^Ggame shall end" ^AmThe final move was made, the ^FKnight hung his ^Ghead ^FAnd said "You've ^Gwon. I've nothing lef^Dmt to play"

^AmThe minstrel, filled with visions, ^Am7sang to his love ^AmTo look against the stormy ^Gsky ^AmThe Knight, his Squire and friends, ^Ftheir hands held as ^Gone ^FSolemnly ^Gdanced towards the ^Dmdawn

^AmHis hourglass in his hand, ^Ghis scythe by his side ^AmThe master Death, he leads them ^Gon ^AmThe rain will wash away the ^Ftears from their ^Gfaces ^FAnd as the thunder ^Gcracked, they were ^Amgone.
