[A#] [B] [A] [G]
[Bm] [A] Sword [G] and pistol by [A] my side, [F#m] [Em] Many [Bm] a young maid lost [A] her bobbles to [Bm] my
drake,
[Em] Many a [Bm] soldier shed [A] his lifeblood [G] on my
blade, [B] The [A] bastards hung me in the [G] spring of [A] twenty [D]-five,
[G] But [A] I am still alive.
[Bm] I [A] was a sailor, [G] I was born upon a tide, [A] In the [G] sea I [A] did abide,
[Em] I sailed a [G] schooner around [A] the whole of [G] Mexico, [Em] I went [A] aloft a furl to Maine's [G] little bow,
[Bm] And when [A] the yard [G] broke I placed [A] it, then I [D] got killed,
[G] But I [A] am living still.
[Bm] I [A] was a dam builder, [G] Crossed the river [B] deep and wide,
[A] First [G] healed in water [A] with the liars, [Em] A place called [Bm] Boulder over the wild [A] [G] Colorado,
[Em] I slipped and fell [A] into the wet pond [G] deep below,
They [A] buried me in that [G] great tomb that [D] knows no sound,
[G] [A] But I am still alive.
[D] Always here, [F#m] round and [Bm] round and round and [A] round [G] and round [F#m] and [Em] round and round.
[A] [D] [Bm] I'll fly [A] a starship across [G] the [Bm] universe divided, [A] And when [G] I reach the [A] other side,
[Em] [Bm] I'll find a place to rest [A] my [G] spirit if I can, [Em] Perhaps I may [A] become a [G] highwayman again.
[D] [Bm]
Or I may [G] simply be a [A] single [D] drop of rain, [G] Something [A] will remain.
I'll be back [D] again, [A] I'm again, [Bm] I'm again, I'm [A] again, [G] I'm again.
