Introduction:

Bm                 A                                                                                                    G                                                                            Bm7  
I was a highwayman, along the coach roads I did ride,
A                                                      G                                              A  
Sword and pistol by my side,
Em            Bm                                                                                            A                                                              G  
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade,
                                        Bm                                                              A                                                                      G  
Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade,
Bm7                                              A                                                              G                                      D  
The basterds hung me in the spring of 25,
                                                                     A  
But I am still alive
Bm                    A                                                      G                                                         Bm            A                                 G                                              A  
I was a sailor, I was born upon the tide, With the sea I did abide,
Em                                 Bm                                                                              A                                                 G  
I sailed a schooner round the horn of Mexico,
Em                            Bm                                                                    A                                                                 G  
I went aloft and furled the main sail in a blow,
Bm                                                         A                                                                                    G                                                      D                                                                                              A  
And when the yard broke off they say that I got killed, But I am living still
Bm                         A                                                                                              G                                                         Bm                    A                                                                    G                                                      A  
I was a dam builder, across a river long and wide,    Where steel and water did collide,
Em                                                         Bm                                                            A                              G  
A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado,
Em                                                    Bm                                                                 A                                 G  
I slipped and fell on the wet concrete below,
Bm                                         A                                                                         G                                                                                            D                                                                                              A  
They buried me in that gray tomb that knows no sounds, But I am still around,
                                                                                     D                            D/C#                                         Bm7                                         A                                      G         D/F#Em  
I'll always be around, and around, and around, and around, and around
  Bm                              A                                                                              G                                    Bm            A                                              G                                                                    A  
I'll fly a starship across the universe divide, And when I reach the other side,
Em                              Bm                                                              A                                 G  
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can,
Em                                 Bm                                                            A                                                         G  
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again,
Bm                              A                                                 G                                                         D                                                                            A  
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain,    But I will remain,
                      D                            D/C#                                         Bm7                                         A                                      G         D/F#Em  
And I'll be back again, and again, and again, and again, and again
