Dm
The wind was a torrent of darkness

Bb        C       Dm
among the ghastly trees

Dm
the moon was a ghostly galleon

Bb          C           Dm
tossed upon the cloudly seas

Gm           C         F
The road was ribbon of moonlight

Dm       Bb     C
over the purple moor

         Gm     C        F
when the highwayman came riding,

Dm   Bb   C
riding, riding

Gm         C        F
the highwayman came riding 

   Dm     Bb      Gm
up to the old inn door
