D

D                            G              D
We left Constantinople in a thousand ninety-nine
D              G                  A 
To restore the one True Cross was in this heart of mine
G                 D          A                 D
To bring it to Jerusalem and then sail home to Rhodes
D                 A        G        D
We took that holy ride ourselves to know
D                 A        G        D
We took that holy ride ourselves to know

D over harmonica part

D                   G             D
Everyone got famous, everyone got rich
D              G                A 
Everyone went off the rails and ended in the ditch
G                       D                  A                  D
But we had to take that long, hard road to see where it would go
D                 A        G        D
We took that holy ride ourselves to know
D                 A        G        D
We took that holy ride ourselves to know

Verse Chords over harmonica solo

D                              G                  D
Now if you make a pilgrimage I hope you find your grail
D               G                   A 
Be loyal to the ones you leave with even if you fail
   G             D             A              D
Be chivalrous to strangers you meet along the road
D                 A        G        D
As you take that holy ride yourselves to know
D                 A        G        D
You take that holy ride yourselves to know
