E           G          A         B
What is the moral? Who rides may read
         E        G             A          B/E
When the night is thick and the tracks are blind
  E           G          A        B
A friend in a pinch is a friend indeed
      E       G            A         B/E
But a fool to wait for the laggard behind
     G             F#m
Down to Gehenna or up to the throne
   E           G           A        B
He travels the fastest who travels alone

E G A B

E           G          A         B
White hands cling to a tightened rein
E          G           A      B/E
Slipping a spur from a booted heel
E         G      A          B
Tenderest voices cry "turn again"
E        G           A          B/E
Red lips tarnish the scabbarded steel
     G                F#m
High hopes faint on a warm hearth stone
   E           G           A        B
He travels the fastest who travels alone

E G A B

A                    A    E     A
One may fall but he falls by himself
A     E  A            A  E
Falls by himself with himself to blame
A                  A  E   A
One may attain and to him is pelf
A    E      A    E
Loot of the city in gold or fame
           G              F#m
Plunder of earth shall be all his own
    E           G           A        B
Who travels the fastest and travels alone

Jam

A                    A    E     A
One may fall but he falls by himself
A     E  A            A  E
Falls by himself with himself to blame
A                  A  E   A
One may attain and to him is pelf
A    E      A    E
Loot of the city in gold or fame
           G              F#m
Plunder of earth shall be all his own
    E           G           A        B
Who travels the fastest and travels alone

E G A B

E             G          A          B
Wherefore the more ye be holpen and stayed
E           G             A       B/E
Stayed by a friend in the hour of toil
E          G        A           B
Sing this heretical song I have made
E          G         A            B/E
His be the labor and yours be the spoil
       G               F#m
Win by his aid and his aid disown
   E           G           A        B
He travels the fastest who travels alone...
