Verse 1:
A                                 D                   A
Alas, he was the highwayman, the one that comes and goes
A                                  E
 And only the highway woman keeps up with the likes of those
A                                 D                A
And she in all her magic, with hands as quick as light,
D         C#m      Bm7          D      E        A
took him to be a challenge, and went into the night

Verse 2:
A                             D         A
And he in all his glory was far ahead of her
A                        E        F#m        E
But she was never sorry for wishes that would burn
A                       D                   A
Enter competition, she chases beneath the moon
D           C#m        Bm7       D      E       A
Her horse is like a dragonfly   She is just a fool

Chorus:
D         C#m     Bm                    D         C#m          F#m
And she wonders, is this real?   Or does she just want to be queen?
D         C#m          Bm         D           E            A
And he fights the way he feels   Is this the end of the dream?

Verse 3:
A                                 D            A
And then he sees her coming, heartbeat on the wind
A                                     E
Considers slowin' down but then he could never win
A                                 D               A
And she out in the distance sees him against the sky
D                   C#m      Bm            D      E   A
A pale and valiant rider, a dream begun in wine

Chorus:
D         C#m     Bm                    D         C#m          F#m
And she wonders, is this real?   Or does she just want to be queen?
D         C#m          Bm         D           E            A
And he fights the way he feels   Is this the end of the dream?

Verse 4:
A                                   D             A
Dream as the thunder wakes her and her highwayman disappears
A                                     E
On a life aleady lived before in eyes  welled with tears
A                C#m              D                A
Today and still today they ride   Will they ever win?
D                 C#m      Bm      D        E     A
He the glory, she the love
still they try again

Outro:
D             C#m          Bm     D       E      A
He the glory, she the love
still they try again
D             C#m          Bm     D       E      A
He the glory, she the love
and still they try again
