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.

(HARP)
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 your trust
C(add 9) G
C(add 9) G
C(add 9) G
C(add 9) G
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 woman
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)
