Key: B
Introduction:
Bm A
I was a highwayman
G Bm
On the coach roads I did ride
A G D A
With sword and pistol by my side
Em * D * A * G *
Bm A G A
The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty-five
D A
But I am still alive.
Bm A
I was a sailor
G Bm
And I was born upon the tide
A G D A
And with the sea I did abide.
Em * D * A * G *
Bm A G A
And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed
D A
But I'm living still.
Bm A
I was a dam builder
G Bm
Across this river deep and wide
A G D A
Where steel and water did collide
Em * D * A * G *
Bm A G A
Then they buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound
D A
But I am still around
Bm A G A
I'll always be around, and around, and around, and around
Bm A
I flew a starship
G A Bm
Across the universe divide
A G D A
And when I reach the other side
Em * D * A * G *
Em D A G
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
D A
But I will remain
Bm A G A
And I'll be back again, and again, and again, and again.....
