E G A B
What is the moral? Who rides may read
E G A B/E
When the night is thick and the tracks are blind
E G A B
A friend in a pinch is a friend indeed
E G A B/E
But a fool to wait for the laggard behind
G F#m
Down to Gehenna or up to the throne
E G A B
He travels the fastest who travels alone

E G A B

E G A B
White hands cling to a tightened rein
E G A B/E
Slipping a spur from a booted heel
E G A B
Tenderest voices cry "turn again"
E G A B/E
Red lips tarnish the scabbarded steel
G F#m
High hopes faint on a warm hearth stone
E G A B
He travels the fastest who travels alone

E G A B

A A E A
One may fall but he falls by himself
A E A A E
Falls by himself with himself to blame
A A E A
One may attain and to him is pelf
A E A E
Loot of the city in gold or fame
G F#m
Plunder of earth shall be all his own
E G A B
Who travels the fastest and travels alone

Jam

A A E A
One may fall but he falls by himself
A E A A E
Falls by himself with himself to blame
A A E A
One may attain and to him is pelf
A E A E
Loot of the city in gold or fame
G F#m
Plunder of earth shall be all his own
E G A B
Who travels the fastest and travels alone

E G A B

E G A B
Wherefore the more ye be holpen and stayed
E G A B/E
Stayed by a friend in the hour of toil
E G A B
Sing this heretical song I have made
E G A B/E
His be the labor and yours be the spoil
G F#m
Win by his aid and his aid disown
E G A B
He travels the fastest who travels alone...
