[Verse 1]
G                              G
Stood alone there, out on the highway
        Bm                G      C
In the blackness, on his own
    G               C
Through the wind, rain and fury
             Am            G
Folds the story of Malcolm Murray

[Verse 2]
G                         G
Not an evil bone in his body
           Bm              C
Not a bad thought in his mind
        G                D
Always drifting, home to home
        Am             G    G
To everybody he was kind

[Verse 3]
G                      G
Was a hunter and a drinker
         D              C
A simple life his only care
           G                     D
You could find him out on the backroad
            C                G
Or in a tavern, alone somewhere

[Verse 4]
G                               G
Heard one day, that he'd been missing
            Em                 C
Gone out hunting, did not return
    G                                 D
The sky turned cloudy, the wind grew still
              C         D        G
For his poor soul my heart would yearn

[Verse 5]
G                         G
Found him lying, in the mountains
          Bm          Em       C
By a stream where he loved to be
G                             D
Lost a good friend and a good man
       C                G
Say farewell to Malcolm Murray

[Verse 6]
G                            G
It's been said, out on the backroad
           Em                        C
There's a shadow by the light of the moon
       G             D
Never fear, never worry
               C                G         G
It's just the memory of Malcolm Murray

[Outro]
G                             G
Stood alone there out on the highway
        Bm                C         C
In the blackness, on his own....
