Chords for The Highwayman (Noyes/Ochs)

The (C)wind was a torrent of (Em)darkness
A-(Am)mong the gusty trees,
the (Em)moon was a ghostly (F)galleon
(Dm)Tossed upon cloudy (G7)seas,
And the (C)road was a ribbon of (Em)moonlight
(Am)Over the purple moor,
And the (F)highwayman came (C)riding, (E)riding, (Am)riding,
Yes the (F)highwayman came (C)rid-(Am)ing
(Dm)Up to the old inn (G7)door.

Chords are certainly subjective and open to interpretation. Both the ones here and the earlier ones I posted above for "The Bells" are taken from the book "The Complete Phil Ochs: Chords of Fame", 1978 Alamo Publications (ISBN 0-89705-010-X)
