Chris De Burgh - The Traveller
# From the album Best Moves #
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: Fmaj7 Am G Am G
Am
In from the coast
Em
Riding like the wind and racing the moon
Am
Shadows on the road
Em
Dancing and weaving like a crazy fool
Am
A horseman is coming
Em
Death in his heart for a rendezvous
G G7 Am
And where the traveller goes, nobody knows
G G7 Am
Where the traveller goes, nobody knows
A candle in the night
Em
Fear on every face when he goes inside (maybe he's on the run)
Am
Get back from the bar
Em
A stranger in town is a dangerous sight (maybe he's got a gun)
Am
"Bring a bottle of whiskey landlord
Em
I want to talk for a while"
G G7 Am
And where the traveller goes, a cold wind blows
G G7 Am
Where the traveller goes, a cold wind blows
CHORUS:
G
There is something in his eyes, something in his hands
F Am
You can almost smell his revenge
G
And whoever he is after, it will be disaster
F E Am
This man is gonna take him to the very end
Well, the landlord he trembled
Em
Staring at a face he'd seen somewhere before (you laid him in the ground)
Am
Suddenly remembered
Em
A killing, yes, a murder many years before (t'was you that shot him down)
Am
He said to a boy,
Em
"Saddle me the black, I'll meet you down below
G G7 Am
"With this man I must talk, with this traveller I go
G G7 Am
"With this man I must talk, yes with him I must go"
CHORUS:
G
"There is something in his eyes, something in his hands
F Am
I can almost smell his revenge
G
And it's me that he's after, it will be disaster
F E Am
This man is gonna take me to the very end"
Fmaj7 F G Am
And they were never seen again
