 Gmaj7| | | |  Bm|  A|  Bm| A  
{Intro...}                   
BmIn from the coast, riding like the wind and raF#mcing the moon.
BmShadows on the road, dancing and weaving like a F#mcrazy fool.
A hBmorseman is coming, death in his heart for a rF#mendezvous.
And where the tAraveller goesA7, nobody knows.Bm  
Where the tAraveller goesA7, nobody kBmnows.
A candle in the night, fear on every face when he goes inside.
(Maybe he's on the run)
Get back from the bar, a stranger in town is a dangerous sight
(maybe he's got a gun)
bring a bottle of whiskey landlord, I want to talk for a while
And where the traveller goes, a cold wind blows.
Where the traveller goes, a cold wind blows.
    BmThere is something in his eyes, somAething in his hands,
    you can aGlmost smell his revenBmge.
    And whoever he is after, it wAill be a disaster,
                         GF#maj                    Bm  
    this man is gonna take   him to the very end.
Well, the landlord he trembled staring at a face he'd seen somewhere before.
(you laid him in the ground)
Suddenly remembered a killing, yes, a murder many years before.
(t'was you that shot him down)
He said to a boy, saddle me the black, I'll meet you down below,
with this man I must talk, with this traveller I go,
with this man I must talk, yes with him I must go.
    (Chorus)
         Gmaj7and they were Gnever Aseen again.

{Intro...}

Bm F#m

In from the coast, riding like the wind and racing the moon.

Bm F#m

Shadows on the road, dancing and weaving like a crazy fool.

Bm F#m

A horseman is coming, death in his heart for a rendezvous.

A A7 Bm

And where the traveller goes, nobody knows.

A A7 Bm

Where the traveller goes, nobody knows.

A candle in the night, fear on every face when he goes inside.

(Maybe he's on the run)

Get back from the bar, a stranger in town is a dangerous sight

(maybe he's got a gun)

bring a bottle of whiskey landlord, I want to talk for a while

And where the traveller goes, a cold wind blows.

Where the traveller goes, a cold wind blows.

Bm A

There is something in his eyes, something in his hands,

G Bm

you can almost smell his revenge.

And whoever he is after, it will be a disaster,

G Bm

F#maj

this man is gonna take him to the very end.

Well, the landlord he trembled staring at a face he'd seen somewhere before.

(you laid him in the ground)

Suddenly remembered a killing, yes, a murder many years before.

(t'was you that shot him down)

He said to a boy, saddle me the black, I'll meet you down below,

with this man I must talk, with this traveller I go,

with this man I must talk, yes with him I must go.

(Chorus)

Gmaj7 G A

and they were never seen again.
