I was [Bb] a highwayman, [Ab] along the coach roads [Cm] I did ride,
[Bb]
With sword and [Eb] pistol by [Bb] my side.
[F] Many a [Cm] young maid lost [Bb] their bobbles to my [Ab] trade,
[F] Many a soldier [Bb] shed his [Ab] lifeblood on my blade.
[Fm] [C] Bastards hung [Bb] me in the [Bb] spring of twenty [Eb]-five,
[Ab] But I am still [Bb] alive.
[Cm] I was [Bb] a sailor, and I [Ab] was born upon [Cm] the tide,
[Bb] And with the [Eb] sea I did [Bb] abide.
[Fm] I sailed [Cm] a schooner round [Bb] the horn to [Ab] Mexico,
[Fm] I went aloft to [Bb] furl the [Ab] mainsail in a blow,
[Cm] And when [Eb] the yards broke off they [Bb] say that I got [Eb] killed,
[Ab] But I'm living still.
[Cm] I was a [Bb] dam builder, [Ab] across the rivers [Cm] deep and wide,
[Bb]
Where steel and [Eb] water did collide,
[F] A place called [Gm] Boulder on the [Bb] wall of [Ab] Colorado,
[Fm] I slipped and fell into [Bb] the wet concrete [Ab] below.
[Cm] They buried [Eb] me in that great tomb that [Eb] knows no sound,
[Ab] But I am still around,
[Bb] I guess I'll always be [Eb] around,
[Dm] And around, and [Cm] around, and around.
[Eb]
[Gm] [Fm]
[Eb] [Cm]
[Bb] I'll fly a starship across the [Cm] universe divine,
[Bb] And when I [Eb] reach the other [Bb] side,
[Fm] I'll find [Cm] a place to rest [Bb] my spirit if [Ab] I can,
[Fm] Or [Cm] perhaps I may [Bb] become a highwayman [Ab] again,
[Eb] Or I may simply be a [Bb] single drop of [Eb] rain,
[Ab] But I will remain,
And I'll be back [Eb] again.
