Highwayman Chords by The Highwaymen, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson

[Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bm] _ I was [A] a highwayman.
Along [G] the coach roads I [Bm] did ride,
_ _ [A] With sword [G] and pistol [D] by [A] my side. _ _
[Em] Many [Bm] a young maid lost [A] her baubles to [G] my trade,
_ [Bm] _ Many a soldier shed [A] his lifeblood on [G] my blade. _
_ _ [Bm] The [A] bastards hung me in [G] the spring [D] of twenty-five, _
[G] But I am [A] still alive.
I _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ [Bm] _
[A] was a sailor.
I [G] was born upon [Bm] the tide,
_ _ [A] With [G] the sea [D] I [A] did abide. _ _
[Em] I [Bm] sailed a schooner [A] around the Horn of [G] Mexico,
_ _ _ [Em] I [Bm] went aloft to [A] furl the mainsail [G] in a blow.
_ _ [Bm] And [A] when the yards broke [G] off they [A] said that [D] I got killed, _
[G] But I am [A] living still. _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bm] I [A] was a dam builder,
_ [G] Across a river [Bm] deep and wide,
_ _ [A] Where [G] steel and [D] water [A] did collide. _ _
[Em] A [Bm] place called Boulder [A] on the wild [G] corner of my home,
_ _ [Em] I [Bm] slipped and fell [A] into the wet concrete [G] below. _
_ _ [Bm] They [A] buried me in that [G] great [A] tomb that [D] knows no sound,
[G] But I am [A] still around. _
I'll always [D] be around, [A] and around, [Bm] and around.
[A] _ _ [G] _ _
[D] _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
[G] _ [A] _ [D] _ _ _ _
[Bm] I'll [A] fly a starship, _
[G] Across the universe [Bm] divide, _ _ _
[A] And when [G] I reach [D] the other [A]
side,
_ [Em] I'll [Bm] find a place to rest [A] my spirit if [G] I can. _ _
[Em] Perhaps [Bm] I may become [A] a highwayman [G] again,
_ _ _ [Bm] Or I may [A] simply [G] be a single [A] drop [D] of rain,
_ [G] But I [A] will remain. _
_ And I'll be back [D] [A] again, and again, [Bm] and again, [A] and again, [G] and again.
