EGAB
What is the moral? Who rides may read
EGAB/E
When the night is thick and the tracks are blind
EGABA friend in a pinch is a friend indeed
EGAB/E
But a fool to wait for the laggard behind
GF#m
Down to Gehenna or up to the throne
EGAB
He travels the fastest who travels alone
EGABEGAB
White hands cling to a tightened rein
EGAB/E
Slipping a spur from a booted heel
EGAB
Tenderest voices cry "turn again"
EGAB/E
Red lips tarnish the scabbarded steel
GF#m
High hopes faint on a warm hearth stone
EGAB
He travels the fastest who travels alone
EGABAAEA
One may fall but he falls by himself
AEAAE
Falls by himself with himself to blame
AAEA
One may attain and to him is pelf
AEAE
Loot of the city in gold or fame
GF#m
Plunder of earth shall be all his own
EGAB
Who travels the fastest and travels alone
Jam
AAEA
One may fall but he falls by himself
AEAAE
Falls by himself with himself to blame
AAEA
One may attain and to him is pelf
AEAE
Loot of the city in gold or fame
GF#m
Plunder of earth shall be all his own
EGAB
Who travels the fastest and travels alone
EGABEGAB
Wherefore the more ye be holpen and stayed
EGAB/E
Stayed by a friend in the hour of toil
EGAB
Sing this heretical song I have made
EGAB/E
His be the labor and yours be the spoil
GF#m
Win by his aid and his aid disown
EGAB
He travels the fastest who travels alone...
