Hi,

Mea Culpa-- played Coates version and the first phrase (not counting intro line) ends on the flat-seven chord. It's a mixolydian mode very different sound. The first phrase does go up on "knight" as the melody I sing. The second part (third phrase) "He stood and he stood" goes up higher but on the second beat instead of the first and ends on the flat 7 chord again.

So yeah it seems completely different although the contour is similar, I should have looked at it more closely,
