The Highwayman Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][G][Am][C][F#dim][D][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Alas
he was the highwayman
The [C]one that comes and [G]goes
And only the highway-woman
Keeps Keeps [D]up with the likes of those
And [G]she in all her magic
With [C]hands as quick as [G]light
Took [C]him to [Bm]be a chall[Am]enge
And [C]went in[D]to the night
[G]

[Verse 2]
And he in all his [Am]glory
[G]Was [C]far ahead of [G]her
But she was never sorry
For [D]wishes [Em]that would [D]burn[C]
[G]Enter competition
She [C]chases beneath the [G]moon
Her [C]horse is [Bm]like a [Am]dragonfly
[C]She is [D]just a fool
[G]

[Verse 3]
[Am]
[G]And she [C]wonders [Bm]is this re[Am]al
Or does [G]she just [D]want to be [Em]Queen
And he [C]fights the [G]way he [Am]feels
[C]Is this the [D]end of the [G]dream[C]

[Verse 4]
And [G]then he sees her coming
[C]Heartbeats on the win[G]d
Considers slowing down
But then, [D]he could nev[Em]er w[D]in
[C]And she[G], out in the distance
Sees [C]him against the [G]sky[Am]
[G]A p[C]ale and vio[Bm]l en[G]t ri[Am]der
A [C]dream be[D]gun in wine
[G][C][G]

[Verse 5]
[Am]
[G]And she [C]wonders [Bm]is this re[Am]al
Or [G]does she just [D]want to be [Em]Queen
And he [C]fights the [G]way he [Am]feels
[C]Is this the [D]end of the [G]dream

[Verse 6]
[G]
A dream as the thunder wakes her
And her [C]highwayman disap[G]pears
On a life already lived before
In [D]eyes welled with tears

[Verse 7]
[G]Today and still today they [Am]ride
[G]Wil[C]l they ever win[G]
[C]He the [Bm]glory,
[Am]She the love,
[C]Still they [D]try [G]again[Am][G]
[C]He the glo[Bm]ry,
[Am]She the love,
[C]Still they [D]try [G]again[Am][Bm]
[C]He the [Bm]glory,
[Am]She the [G]love,[C]
And still they, [D]try, again
[C][Bm][G][Am][D]
