[Bm]
I [A] was a highwayman, [G] along the coach [D] roads [Bm] I did ride,
[Em] [A] With a [G] solding pistol by my [A] side.
[G] [Em]
Many [D] a young maid lost [A] her baubles to [G] my stray,
[Em] Many [D] a soldier shed [A] his lifeblood on [G] my blade.
[Bm] The bastards [A] hung me in the [G] spring of twenty [A]-five,
But [D]
I'm still [A] alive.
[Bm] [A] I was a sailor, [G] and I was born upon the [Bm] tide,
[A] [G] With the sea I did [A] abide.
[Em] I sailed [D] a schooner round the [A] Horn of [G] Mexico,
[Em] I went [D] aloft to furl [A] the mainsail in a [G] blow.
[Bm] [A] When the odds broke off [G] they said that I [A] got killed,
[D] But I'm [A] living still.
[Bm] I [A] was a dam builder, [G] across this [B] river deep [Bm] and wide,
[G] [A] Where [G] steel and water [A] did collide,
[Em]
In a [D] place called Boulder [A] on the wild [G] Colorado.
[Em] I slipped [D] and fell into [A] the wet concrete [G] below,
[Bm] [A] They buried me in that gray [G] tomb that knows no [A] sound,
[D] But I'm [A] still round, I'll always be [Bm] [A] round and round.
[G]
[Bm] I flew [A] a starship, [G]
across the [Bm] universe divine,
[A] [G] When I reach the [A] other side,
[Em] I'll [B] find a place to [A] rest my spirit if [G] I can.
[E] [D] Perhaps I may become [A] a highwayman [G] again,
[Bm] [A] Or I may simply be [G] a single drop [A] of rain,
[D] And I [A] will remain,
And I'll come back [Bm] again, and [A] again, [G] and again,
And [Bm] again, and [A] again, and [G] again.
[Bm]
