Biography:
Scott Walker (Noel Scott Engel, January 9, 1943 - March 22, 2019) was an American-born singer-songwriter, composer and record producer. He is noted for his distinctive baritone voice and for the unorthodox career path which has taken him from 1960s pop icon to 21st century avant-garde musician.
Originally coming to fame in the mid-1960s singing orchestral pop ballads as the frontman of The Walker Brothers, Walker went on to a solo career balancing

Intro: Gm Cm D7 Gm
Gm Gm7
Anybody seen a Knight pass this way?
Gm F
I saw him playing chess with Death yesterday
Gm Eb F
His crusade was a search for God and they say
Eb F Cm
It's been a long way to carry on
Gm Gm7
Anybody hear of plague in this town?
Gm F
The town I've left behind was burnt to the ground
Gm Eb F
A young girl on a stake, her face framed in flames
Eb F Eb
Cried "I'm not a witch, God knows my name"
Gm Gm7
The Knight he watched with fear, he needed to know
Gm F
He ran where he might feel God's breath
Gm Eb F
And in the misty church he knelt to confess
Eb F Cm C#m
The face within the booth was Mister Death
G#m G#m7
"My life's a vain pursuit of meaningless miles"
G#m F#
"Why can't God touch me with a sign?"
G#m E F#
"Perhaps there's no-one there" answered the booth
E F# C#m
And Death hid within his cloak and smiled
G#m G#m7
"This morning I played chess with Death" said the Knight
G#m F#
"We played that he might grant me time"
G#m E F#
"My Bishops and my Knights will shatter his flanks"
E F# C#m
"And still I might feel God's heart in mine"
G#m G#m7
And through confession's grille Death's laughter was heard
G#m F#
The Knight cried "No - you've cheated me!"
G#m E F#
"But still I'll find a way. We'll meet once again"
E F# C#m Dm
"And once again continue to play"
Am Am7
They met within the woods, the Knight, his Squire and friends
Am G
And Death said "Now the game shall end"
Am F G
The final move was made, the Knight hung his head
F G Dm
And said "You've won. I've nothing left to play"
Am Am7
The minstrel, filled with visions, sang to his love
Am G
To look against the stormy sky
Am F G
The Knight, his Squire and friends, their hands held as one
F G Dm
Solemnly danced towards the dawn
Am G
His hourglass in his hand, his scythe by his side
Am G
The master Death, he leads them on
Am F G
The rain will wash away the tears from their faces
F G Am
And as the thunder cracked, they were gone.
G Am G Am
