Refrain:
Dm   Gm  Dm   Gm          Dm      Am   Dm
Oo - Ride on through the night  - Ride on
Dm   Gm  Dm   Gm           Dm      Am  Dm
Oo - Ride on through the night  - Ride on

Dm                           Gm         Dm
There are visions, there are memories
  Gm          Dm                  Am      Dm
There are echoes of thundering hooves
                   Dm   Gm      Dm
There are fires, there is laughter
  Gm             Dm                      Am    Dm
There's the sound of a thousand doves        Refrain

Dm              Gm        Dm
In the velvet of the darkness
Gm       Dm                  Am  Dm
By the silhouette of silent trees
                   Dm        Gm         Dm
They are watching, they are waiting
  Gm        Dm                     Am     Dm
They are witnessing life's mysteries            Refrain

 Dm                      Gm       Dm                      Gm         Dm                  Am      Dm
Cascading stars on the slumbering hills - they are dancing as far as the sea
Dm                             Gm        Dm                            Gm       Dm          Am  Dm
Riding o'er the land, you can feel its gentle hand Leading on to its  destiny

Refrain

Dm                        Gm        Dm
Take me with you on this journey
  Gm           Dm                          Am           Dm
Where the boundaries of time are now tossed
                      Gm     Dm
In cathedrals of the forest
Gm     Dm                             Am   Dm
In the words of the tongues now lost

Dm                         Gm        Dm
Find the answers, ask the questions
Gm         Dm                  Am   Dm
Find the roots of an ancient tree
                                Gm          Dm
Take me dancing, take me singing
Gm    Dm                       Am          Dm
I'll ride on till the moon meets the sea            Refrain… repeat to fade
