Chris De Burgh - The Traveller



CAPO: 2nd Fret


INTRO: Fmaj7Fmaj7 A minorAm G+G A minorAm G+G

A minorAm
In from the coast
             E minorEm
Riding like the wind and racing the moon
A minorAm
Shadows on the road
              E minorEm
Dancing and weaving like a crazy fool
  A minorAm
A augmentedA horseman is coming
             E minorEm
Death in his heart for a rendezvous
       G+G       G7G7    A minorAm
And where the traveller goes, nobody knows
     G+G       G7G7    A minorAm
Where the traveller goes, nobody knows

A augmentedA candle in the night
              E minorEm
Fear on every face when he goes inside (maybe he's on the run)
  A minorAm
Get back from the bar
            E minorEm
A augmentedA stranger in town is a dangerous sight (maybe he's got a gun)
     A minorAm
"Bring a bottle of whiskey landlord
     E minorEm
I want to talk for a while"
       G+G       G7G7      A minorAm
And where the traveller goes, a cold wind blows
     G+G       G7G7      A minorAm
Where the traveller goes, a cold wind blows


CHORUS:
                G+G
There is something in his eyes, something in his hands
    FF         A minorAm
You can almost smell his revenge
             G+G
And whoever he is after, it will be disaster
FF         E MajorE          A minorAm
This man is gonna take him to the very end

Well, the landlord he trembled
              E minorEm
Staring at a face he'd seen somewhere before (you laid him in the ground)
A minorAm
Suddenly remembered
               E minorEm
A augmentedA killing, yes, a murder many years before (t'was you that shot him down)
  A minorAm
He said to a boy,
                  E minorEm
"Saddle me the black, I'll meet you down below
      G+G       G7G7           A minorAm
"With this man I must talk, with this traveller I go
      G+G       G7G7          A minorAm
"With this man I must talk, yes with him I must go"


CHORUS:
                 G+G
"There is something in his eyes, something in his hands
   FF         A minorAm
I can almost smell his revenge
               G+G
And it's me that he's after, it will be disaster
FF         E MajorE          A minorAm
This man is gonna take me to the very end"

And they were never seen again
