[B] [E]
I [G#] love Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, [E] everything, it's great.
[F#m] [E] [A] I'm the oldest one [Em] in the group, let me turn up [F#] my hearing aid.
Willie Nelson.
The boy with the hat.
He likes any case, yeah.
[E] Country music is love, I think it's the greatest music ever written, ever made.
I like everything Willie got out, I don't have a favorite song, they're all good.
[B] What's that, what's the question?
[E] I'll never see these men again together, as long as we're alive we'll never [G#] see them again.
It's about four good [D#] friends having a good time.
[F#] Tell me that story about your [B] grandma.
You gotta give that to the good ones.
[C] My grandma.
[F] [G]
[G#] We need to go make some music.

[N]
[Bm]
[B] I was a [A] highwayman, along the [G] coach road I did [Bm] ride,
[A] with a sword and pistol by my side.
[Em] Many a [Bm] young maid lost her [A] bauble to my [G] trade,
[Em] many a soldier [Bm] shed his life [A] blood on my blade.
[G] [Bm] The bastard [A] hung me in the spring [G] of twenty-five,
[D]
but I am still [A] alive.
I
[Bm] was [A] a sailor, I was [G] born upon [Bm] the tide,
[A] with the sea I did abide.
[Em] I sailed [Bm] a schooner around [A] the Horn of [G] Mexico,
[Em] I went [Bm] along to Pearl, [A] to Mainz, to [G] Lenovo.
[Bm] And when [A] the yard broke off [G] they said that I [D] got killed,
[G] but I'm living [A] still.
[Bm] I [A] was a dam builder, [G] across a river deep [Bm] and wide,
[A] where [D] steel and water did [A] collide.
[Em] A [Bm] place called Boulder, [A] on the wild [G] Colorado,
[Em] I [Bm] slept and fell in [A] the wet concrete [G] below.
[Bm] They [A] buried me in that great tomb that [D] holds no sound,
[G] but I am [A] still around.
I'll always [D] be around, [C#m] and around, [Bm] and around, [A] and around.
[G] [F#m] [Em]
[D] [Bm] I'll [A] fly a starship [Gm] across the [Bm] universe divide,
[A] and when [D] I reach the [A] other side,
[Em] I'll [Bm] find a place to [A] rest my spirit [G] if I can.
[Em] [Bm] Perhaps I may [A] become a [G] highwayman again,
[Bm] or [A] I may simply be a single [D] drop of rain,
[Em] but I [A] will remain,
and I'll [D] be back [C#m] again, and again, [Bm] and again, [A] and again, and again.
[F#m] [Em]
[D]
[Gm] [D]
Well a long time forgot her dreams that just fell by the way,
[G]
[A] and the good life in the drama ain't what she's living [D] today.
But she never complains of the bad times,
or the bad [G] things he's done, and lost.
[A] She talks about the good times they've had,
and all the good times [D] to come.
She's a good hearted mama, and loves her good [G] dad.
[A] She loves him in spite of his ways that she don't [D] understand.
Through teardrops and laughter,
they'll walk through this world hand in hand.
[A] She's a good hearted mama, and loves her [D] good dad.
[E] He likes the night light, the bright lights, and his good time [A] he's had.
And when [B] the party's all over, she'll welcome him back home again.
[E]
Lord knows she don't understand him, but she does the best [A] that she can.
[B] This good hearted woman in love with a good [E] time and man.
She's a good hearted woman in love with a good time [A] and man.

[N]

[G] Just a good old boy, never meaning [C] no harm.
[G] Beats all you never saw, [D] been in trouble with the law since the day they [G] was born.
Straightening the curve, [C] flattening the hill.
