I think that there are two guitars in this song - one acoustic and the other is electric. I'm going to show you the chords - you can take it from there. Be sure to visit my tab page in order to understand how I write tablature on the web.

By the way, I interpreted these chords from listening to the CD - I did not use any other written music as an aid in writing the tab presented on this page. If you think that I have made a mistake, please let me know about it by dropping me a quick note.

         C(add 9)       G           
There's a card game in the courtyard
 
       C(add 9)    G 
and the winner loses all
 
         Bm7/F#           C
when the judge checks his supper
 
        D/A
it's so small
 
 
       C(add 9)         G 
and the hills are grey with trouble
 
       C(add 9)        G 
and the dry spring gathers dust
 
             Bm7/F#       C
your lover's crying in the valley
 
             G 
she lost her trust

C(add 9)     G
(HARP SOLO)
 
 
         C(add 9)   G 
but there is a road to glory
 
       C(add 9)    G 
somehow hidden in the past
 
           Bm7/F#          C
behind the gold, behind the treasure
 
           G
behind the mask
 
 
     F(add 9)                  G
then comes a team of four white horses
 
      F(add 9)             G
and a lady with night-black hair
 
        F(add 9)               G
and she looks to be such a fine one
 
    F(add 9)     G 
but is she really there
 
 
          F(add 9)       G 
I've gotta knooooooooooooooooooooooow
 
 
          F(add 9)       G 
I've gotta knooooooooooooooooooooooow
 
 
         F(add 9)   G    F(add 9)   G   F(add 9)   G 
I've gotta knoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow
 
F(add 9)      G
(HARPS)
(repeat and fade out)
