       Em                                     D             Em
I was travelling through the wastelands, one dark and windy day
       Em                                C              D
When I met a travelling gypsy, with his cart along the way
   Em                         D               Em
He was a storyteller, and he seemed to be the last
     G                   D         Am             Em
So I asked him please to tell me a story from the past
    Em                            D        Em
He said to me I'll tell you the story of a man
    Em                           C                D
Who was the last survivor, of a big and glorious clan
       Em                              D              Em
He was out to seek his fortune, and strike the pot of gold
       G           D             Am              Em
But he ended up a tyran, who was out to rob them all

Who went out to seek his fortune, in the blood of fellow man
        Em                            D               Em
It was in the weary outskirts, of a town near Dingle Bay
       Em                 C               D
This giant of a man, came out one winters day
    Em                                D                 Em
He raped, sieged and plundered, all around the southern land
       G              D            Am                Em
And he utilized the trust, he had gained from fellow man
        Em                          D                 Em
He came in the door a gentleman, before they knew his rage
    Em                                 C                 D
He courted with the women, found the craiq with all the mates
     Em                              D                Em
But when the craiq was over, and he found the pot of gold
         G                D            Am                   Em
He was quick to grab the lot, then he raped and killed them all

Well, He made his way to the capitol, to proceed his dirty deeds
    Em                          C                D
But there he met the Garda, the Irish, strong police
    Em                                     D          Em
He went down in a blast of smoke, and was never seen again
          G             D                 Am          Em
