AmOne warm summer night, he rode into sight
     C    Am              G          AmOn a wild mare that was so perfectly white
                 C              GI dreamed he'd return and I was right
C               G             D7                 AmWishes can come true when you wish with all your might

AmOne look in his eyes and I had realized
    C           Am         G         AmHis life was so simple, he had no disguise
                C                        GHe lived day to day, no promise he would stay
    C            G         D7              AmBut in these few words, he stole my heart away

AmHe said, "My life's not to lead through power or greed
  C        Am             G         AmI am but a poor man, when I'm cut I bleed
              C                   GA more humble man, you never will meet
    C          G         D7         AmAnd here is my heart for only you to keep"

AmNo scholarly thoughts, he couldn't pay high costs
    C            Am              G       AmAnd sometimes it feels like he's totally lost
                 C                   GBut he said this true and he said it loud
   C              G                D7    Am"I promise you my heart, with this solemn vow"
