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