Highwayman Chords by Ashley Campbell

_ [G#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#] I was a highwayman, _ [E] along the coach roads [G#m] I did ride
_ With [F#] _ _
[E] sword and [B] pistol by [F#] my side _ _
_ [C#m] _ Many [G#m] a young maid [F#] lost their baubles to [E] my train
_ Many [C#m] _ _
[G#m] a soldier shed his [F#] lifeblood [E] on my blade
_ They _ [G#m] _ finally [F#] hung me [E] in the [F#] spring of twenty [B]-five _
But [G#m] I'm still [F#] alive _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ [F#] _ _ _ [G#m] _
And I was [F#] a sailor
And [E] I was born upon [G#m] the tide
_ And [F#] _
with [E] the [B] sea I did [F#] abide
_ I _ [C#m] _ sailed [G#m] a schooner [F#] around the Horn of [E] Mexico
_ I _ [C#m] _
went [G#m] aloft to [F#] furrow the main sail [E] in a blow
And _ [G#m] _ _ [B] when the [F#] yards broke [E] off they [F#] say that I got [B] killed
But _ [E] I am [F#] living still _ _
_ [B] _ _ [F#] _ _ _ [G#m] _
And I was [F#] a dam builder
_ [E] Across the river deep [G#m] and wide
_ _ _ [F#] _
Wish steel [E] and [B] water did [F#] collide
_ A _ [C#m] _ place [G#m] called Boulder [F#] on the wild [E] Colorado
_ I _ _ [C#m]
slipped [G#m] and furrowed into [F#] the wood [E] concrete below
They _ _ [G#m] _ buried [F#] me in that [E] great tomb [F#] that [B] knows no sound _
_ [E] But I'm still [F#] around _ _
_ [B] _ _ [F#] I guess I'll always be [B]
around
_ [F#] _ [Bm] _ _ [G#m] _ _ [F#] _
_ _ [E] _ _ [G#m] _ _ _ [C#m] _
I'll _ _ _ [E] _ [F#] _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ [G#m] _ fly [F#] a starship
_ [E] Across the [G#m] universe divine
_ _ And [F#] _
when [E] I [B] reach the [F#] other side _ _
_ [C#m] I'll find [G#m] a place to [F#] rest my spirit if [E] I can
_ _ _ [C#m] _ _
[G#m] Perhaps I may [F#] become a highway man [E] again
_ _ _ _ [G#m] _ Or I [F#] may simply [E] be a [F#] single [B] drop of rain _
But _ [E] I [F#] will remain
And _ [B] _ _ [F#] _ I'll be [B] back again
And again, [G#m] and again, [F#]
and again [E] _ Ooh
[G#m] _ _ _
[C#m] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [F#] _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
