Verse 1
D 
It's about a fierce highwayman,
my story I will tell.
His name was Willie Brennan,
Bm 
D 
and in Ireland he did dwell.
Bm 
T 'was upon the King's Mountain
he began his wild career,
D 
Bm 
And many a rich gentleman
F#m 
before him shook with fear.
Bm 
D 
Oh, it's Brennan on the moor,
F#m 
Bren  nan on the moor.
D 
Bold, gay, and undaunted
G 
stood young Brennan on
D 
the moor.
He's upon the king's highway,
old Brennan he sat down.
He met the mayor of Moreland
Bm 
D 
five miles outside  of town.
Now the mayor, he knew Brennan,
Bm 
D 
and I think, says he,
Bm 
Your name is Willie Brennan,
F#m 
you must come along with me.
Bm 
D 
Oh, it's Brennan on the moor,
F#m 
Bren  nan on the moor,
D 
Bold, gay, and undaunted
G 
stood young Brennan on
D 
the moor.
Now Brennan's wife was a
-goin' downtown
Some provisions for to buy
When she saw her Willie takin'
Bm 
D 
She began to weep and cry
Said, he hand me that six penny
Bm 
And as soon as Willie spoke
D 
Bm 
She handed him a blunderbuss
F#m 
Bm 
From underneath her cloak folds.
D 
Brennan on the moor,
F#m 
Brennan on    the moor.
D 
Bold, gay, and undaunted
G 
stood young Brennan on
D 
the moor.
Now Brennan got his blunderbuss,
my story I'll unfold.
He caused the mayor to tremble
Bm 
and to deliver up his gold.
D 
Five thousand pounds were offered
Bm 
for his apprehension
D 
Bm 
But Brennan and a peddler
F#m 
to the mountain did repair
Bm 
D 
Oh, it's Brennan on the moor,
F#m 
Bren  nan on the moor
D 
Bold, gay, and undaunted
G 
D 
stood young Brennan on the moor
Now Brennan is an outlaw
on some mountain high
With infantry and cavalry
Bm 
D 
to take him they did try
But he laughed at them
Bm 
and he scorned at them
D 
Bm 
Until it was said by a false -hearted wo  man
F#m 
He was cruelly betrayed
Bm 
D 
Oh, it's Brennan on the moor
F#m 
Bren  nan on the moor
D 
Bold, gay, and undaunted
G 
Stood young Brennan on the moor
D 
They hung Brennan at the crossroads
In chains he swung and dried
But still they say that in the night
Bm 
D 
Some do see him ride
Bm 
They see him with his blunderbuss
D 
In the midnight  chill,
Bm 
alone along the King's Highway
D 
Bm 
Rides a  Willie Brennan still, oh it's
D 
Brennan on the moor,
F#m 
Brennan on the moor
D 
Bold, gay, and undaunted stood young
G 
Brennan on the moor you
