- The Traveller
- Words & Music by Chris de Burgh
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
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.

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

you can almost smell his revenge.

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

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.
