[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 Am Gm Dm
And a knight with his banners all bravely unfurled
Em F A
Now hurls down his gauntlet to thee!
[Chorus]
D
I am I, Don Quixote
The Lord of La Mancha
G Bm A
Destroyer of Evil am I.
D
I will march to the sound of
The trumpets of glory
Bm Fm Dm
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 Am Gm Dm
For a holy endeavor is now to begin
Em F A
And virtue shall triumph at last!
[Chorus]
D
I am I, Don Quixote
The Lord of La Mancha
G Bm A
A name all the world soon will know.
D
And the wild winds of fortune
Will carry me onward
Bm Fm Dm
Oh, whither so ever they blow.
[Segue]
Fm A
Whither so ever they blow
D
Onward to Glory I go!
[Chorus]
D
I am I, Don Quixote
The Lord of La Mancha
G Bm A
A name all the world soon will know.
D
And the wild winds of fortune
Will carry me onward
Bm Fm Dm
Oh, whither so ever they blow.
[Outro]
Fm A
Whither so ever they blow
D
Onward to Glory I go!
