Bm A G BmI was a highwayman. Along the coach roads I did ride
A G D AWith sword and pistol by my side
Em Bm A GMany a young maid lost her baubles to my trade
Em Bm A GMany a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade
Bm A G A DThe bastards hung me, in the spring of twenty-five
G A
But I Am still alive.
[Kris]
Bm A G BmI was a sailor. I was born upon the tide
A G D AAnd with the sea I did abide.
Em Bm A GI sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico
Em Bm A GI went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow
Bm A G A DAnd when the yards broke off, they said that I got killed
G A
But I Am living still.
[Waylon]
Bm A G BmI was a dam builder. Across the river deep and wide.
A G D AWhere steel and water did collide.
Em Bm A GA place called Boulder on the wild Colorado
Em Bm A GI slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
Bm A G A DThey buried me, in that great tomb that knows no sound
G A
But I Am still around..
A D D/C# Bm A G F#m EmI'll always be around and around and around and around and around
G A D
[Johnny]
Bm A G BmI fly a starship across the Universe divide
A G D AAnd when I reach the other side
Em Bm A GI'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
Em Bm A GPerhaps I may become a highwayman again
Bm A G A BmOr I may simply be a single drop of rain
A G ABut I, will remain
A D D/C# Bm A G F#m EmAnd I'll be back again, and again and again and again and again...
