of darkness

Among the gusty trees

The moon was a ghostly galleon

F#
Tossed upon cloudy seas

And the road was a ribbon of moonlight
G#m
Over the purple moor
E

And the highwayman came riding,

G#m
riding, riding
E

Yes, the highwayman came rid ing
C#m

Up to the old inn door

An d clashed in the darkened yard
D#m
E
And he tapped with his whip at the window
C#m
D#m

But all was locked an d barred

So he whistled a tune to the window

An d who should be waiting there

But the landlord's black eyed daughter

Bess the land lord's daughter

Plaiting a dark red love knot
C#m
G#m
F#
Into her long black hair

One kiss, my bonny sweetheart

For I'm after a prize tonight

And I'll come to thee by moon light
C#m
F#
Though Hell should bar the way
B
D#m
He did not come at the dawning
G#m
No, he did not come at the noon
D#m
E
And out of the tawny sunset
C#m
D#m
F#
be fore the rise of the moon
B
D#m
When the road was a gypsy's ribbon
G#m
Looping the purple moor
E
B
Oh a redcoat troop came marching,
D#m
G#m
marching, marching
E
B
G#m
King George's men came marching
C#m
G#m
F#
Up to the old inn door
B
And they bound the land

lord's daughter
G#m
with many a sniggering jest
D#m
And they bound the musket
E
beside her
C#m
D#m
F#
With the barrel be neath her breast

Now keep good watch and

they kissed her
G#m
She heard the dead man say

Though Hell should bar the way"

D#m
Look for me by moonlight
G#m
Hoof beats ringing clear
D#m
E
Watch for me by moonlight
C#m
G#m
F#
Were they deaf that they did not hear
B
D#m
For he rode on the gypsy highway
G#m
She breathed one final breath
E
B
Then her finger moved in the moonlight
D#
G#m
Her musket shattered the moonlight
E
And it shattered her breast
B
in the moonlight
G#m
C#m
F#
And warned him with her death
B
Oh he turned; he spurred
D#m
on to the west
G#m
He did not know who stood
D#m
E
Out with her black hair a
flowing down
C#m
G#m
F#
Drenched with her own red blood
B
D#m
Oh not 'til the dawn had he heard it
G#m
An d his face grew gray to hear
E
B
How Bess the land lord's daughter
D#
G#m
The landlord's black eyed daughter
E
Had watched for her love in
D#
G#m
the moon light
C#m
F#
And died in the dark ness there
B
D#m
Back he spurred like a madman
G#m
Shrieking a curse to the sky
D#m
With the white road smoking
E
behind him
C#m
G#m
F#
And his rapier brandished high
B
Blood red were his spurs
D#m
in the golden noon
G#m
Wine red his velvet coat
E
When they shot him down
B
on the highway
D#
G#m
Down like a dog on the highway
E
And he lay in his blood on the highway
G#m
C#m
D#
With a bunch of lace at his throat
F#
B
D#m
An d still on a winter's night they say
G#m
When the wind is in the trees
D#m
D#
E
When the moon is a ghostly galleon
C#m
G#m
F#
Tossed upon cloudy seas
B
D#m
When the road is a ribbon of moonlight
G#m
Over the purple moor
E
B
Oh the highwayman comes rid ing,
D#
G#m
rid ing, riding

Yes the highwayman comes rid ing
C#m
F#
Up to the old inn door.
