Key: Bm
Introduction: Bm Bm Bm Bm
Bm A G Bm
I was a highwayman, along the coach roads I did ride
A G D A
With sword and pistol by my side
Em Bm A G
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade
Em Bm A G
Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade
Bm A G A D
The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty five
G A
But I am still alive
Bm A G Bm
I was a sailor, I was born upon the tide
A G D A
With the sea, I did abide
Em Bm A G
I sailed a schooner round the horn to Mexico
Em Bm A G
I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow
Bm A G A D
And when the yards broke off, they said that I got killed
G A
But I am living still
Bm A G Bm
I was a dam builder, across a river deep and wide
A G D A
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 into the wet concrete below
Bm A G A D
They buried me in that gray tomb that knows no sound
G A
But I am still around
D A/C# Bm A
I' ll always be around, and around, and around, and around,
G D/F# Em G A D
and around, and around ...
Bm A G Bm
I' ll fly a starship ' cross the universe divide
A G D A
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 A D
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
G A
But I will remain
D A/C# Bm A
And I' ll be back again, and again, and again, and again,
G D/F# Em G A D
and again, and again ...
