 D    E        D   B        A
Somewhere, he lost it in a turn
Now trouble seems to fit him like a glove
First come, first served, he's serving it back
Travels light, without a pack, without love

Chorus:
D
He comes from nowhere, returns on his own
E
Late for the hanging, yes he's heading for the moon
          B A B A
Hang 'em High

Leather, across his thighs
Blasting out the night, he's terrified to drive
One eye on the road, crashed upon his head
One ear to the ground, he's listening to the dead

Chorus

C#m                     F#
Alone to himself, he's laughing up his sleeve
 E                          C#        G#
Looking back in anger, the city is relieved
C#m
Vision of Light
C
Child of the night
         E F#
Passing by

Alone to himself, he's laughing up his sleeve
Looking back in anger, the city is relieved
Vision of Light
Child of the night
Passing by

Leather 'cross his thigh
Blasting out the night, his cap hides his eyes
One eye on the road, price upon his head
One ear to the ground, he's listening to the dead

Chorus
