[Verse 1]

      G                      
I was headed back home on the 

         C
Merland Road

        G                      C
With my head in the clouds one night

                          G
Taking each step with the beat of my
 heart

Bm                      Em
Guided by the pale moonlight

      G                            
I was whistling along with the 

         C
loons on the lake

    G                        C
And thinking ‘bout making my plan

                          G
Next thing you know, I’m suckin’ on 
the knuckles

      Am              G
Of a swindling highwayman

[Chorus]

          C              G
Well I’ll take my rifle, take my 
pistol

C                  G
I’ll take what I can

Bm         Em                
No, I’ll never walk the road to 

    C      G    D     G
Guysborough alone again

[Verse 2]

         G                         
He had a Colt 45 a-swingin’ on his 

C
hip

G                      C
And a blackjack in his hand

                          G
He had a bucktooth grin, a great big
 chin

Bm                     Em
A limp and a silk armband

          G                   
He said, “Fella don’t you know 

                        C
there’s trouble in the woods

        G                       C
and the trouble in the woods is I?

                   G
Gimmie your gold, gimmie your 
liquor.

      Am                     G
I’ll think about letting you by.”

[Chorus]

          C              G
Well I’ll take my rifle, take my 
pistol

C                  G
I’ll take what I can

Bm         Em                
No, I’ll never walk the road to

[Verse 3]

G                                 
Well I hit him with the left and 

           C
the right, alright

G                     C
With fists like cannonballs

                            G
He turned on a dime and he ran with 
a shriek

      Bm                       Em
That echoed off the Intervale walls

      G                            
I ain’t proud of what I did, but I 

           C
did what I did

    G                          C
‘cause I couldn’t miss my chance
to take Hopey for a spin on the 

 G
sawdust floor

      Am                G
at Favaro’s wedding dance

[Chorus]

          C              G
Well I’ll take my rifle, take my 
pistol

C                  G
I’ll take what I can

Bm         Em
