It’s a bout a fierce high way man town my (F)sto ry I will (C)tell.

His name was Wil ly Bren nan and in (F)Ire land (Am)he did (C)dwell.

’Twas up on the King’s own moun tain he be (F)gan his (Am)wild ca (C)reer, and (F)man y a wealth y gen tle man be (C)fore him (F)shook with (C)fear.

(G7)Oh, it’s (C)Bren nan on the moor, (Em)Bren nan on the moor.

Bold, (F)gay and un (C)daunt ed stood young (F)Bren nan on the (C)moor.

It was up on the king’s high way town old (F)Bren nan he sat (C)down.

He met the may or of Moor land five (F)miles out (Am)side of (C)town.

Now the may or, he had heard of Bren nan (F)and, “I (Am)think,” says (C)he, “your (F)name y is Wil ly Bren nan, you must (C)come a (F)long with (C)me.” (G7)Oh, it’s (C)Bren nan on the moor, (Em)Bren nan on the moor.

Bold, (F)gay and un (C)daunt ed stood young (F)Bren nan on the (C)moor.
