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
