[C#m] [Bm] [B]
[D] [A]
Alas, he was the highwayman, [D] the one that comes and [A] goes
And only the highwaywoman [E] keeps up with the likes of those
And [A] she in all her magic, [D] with hands as quick as light
[A] Took [D] him to [C#m] be a [B] challenge and went [E] into the [A] night
And she in all her glory [F#m] was [D] far ahead of [A] her
But she was never sorry [E] for wishes [F#m] that would [F#] burn
[A] In third condition, [D] she chases beneath the [A] moon
Her [D] horse is [C#m]
like a [Bm] dragonfly, she's [E] just a [A] fool
[B]
And [D] she wonders, [C#m] is this [Bm] real?
[A] Or does she [E] just want to [F#m] be queen?
[D] And he fights [A] the way he [Bm] feels
[D] Is [E] this the end [A] of the dream?
[D] [A] And then he sees the coming, [D] heart beats on the [A] wind
And he's a little bit tired, he'll sit a little slower now
But [E] then he [F#m] could never [F#] win
[E] [A] And she out in the distance [D] sees him against the [A] [Bm] sky
[D] A pale and [Bm] violent rider, [D] a dream [E]
begun in [A] the quiet
[D] [A]
[D] And she [C#m] wonders, is this [Bm] real?
[A] Or does she [E] just want to [F#m] be queen?
[D] And he fights [A] the way he [Bm]
feels
[D] Is [E] this the end [A] of the dream?
A dream as the thunder wakes her, [D] and her highwayman [A] disappears
Or a life already lived before, [E] in eyes where the tears
[F#] [A] Today it's still, today they ride, [D] we'll never [A] win
[D] He [A] the glory, [Bm] she the love, [D] but still [E] they try [A] again
[B] He [D] the [C#m]
glory, [Bm] she the love, [D] still [E] they try [A] [Bm] again
[D] He the [C#m]
glory, [Bm] she the [B] love
[D] And still [E] they try [D] again
[A] [Bm] [E] [A]
