Bm7 A G Bm7
I was a highwayman along the coach roads I did ride
A G D A
with sword and pistol by my side
Em Bm7 A G
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade.
Em Bm7 A G
Many a soldier lost his lifeblood on my blade.
Bm7 A G A D
The bastards hung me in the spring of '25
G A
But I am still alive.
Bm7 A G Bm7
I was a sailor I was born upon the tide
A G D A
with the sea I did abide
Em Bm7 A G
I sailed a schooner round the horn of Mexico
Em Bm7 A G
I went aloft to 'furl the mainsail in a 'blow
Bm7 A G A D
and when the yards broke off they said that I got killed
G A
But I am living still.
Bm7 A G Bm7
I was a dam builder across the river deep and wide
A G D A
where steel and water did collide
Em Bm7 A G
A place called Boulder on the wide Colorado
Em Bm7 A G
I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
Bm7 A G A D
They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound
G A
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
Bm7 A G Bm7
I fly a starship across the universe divide
A G D A
and when I reach the other side
Em Bm7 A G
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
Em Bm7 A G
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
Bm7 A G A D
or I may simply be a single drop of rain
G A
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
