[C#m]
I [B] was a highwayman, [F#m] along the country roads I [C#m] did ride, [B] [F#m] with sword [A] and pistol by [B] my [F#m] side.
Many a [C#m] young maid [E] lost her baubles to [A] my trade, [F#m] many [C#m] a soldier [B] drew his lifeblood [A] on my blade.
[E] The [B] bastards [F#m] on me in the [E] spring of twenty-five, [A] but I am still [B] alive.
[F#m]
[C#] [B] I was a sailor, [A] I was [B] born [C#m] upon the tide, [B] [A] with sea I did [B] abide.
[F#m] I sailed [E] screwing around the horn of [A] every school, [B] I [C#m] went along for the main [A] sail of the boat.
[C#m] [B] When the oars [A] broke off [B] they said that [E] I got killed, [A] yet I'm [B] living still.
[C#m] I [B] was a dam builder, across [A] the river deep [C#m] and wide, [B] with steel [A] and water [B] did collide.
[E] [F#] A place called [C#m] Boulder on the old [A] Colorado, [F#m] I [A] slipped and fell into [B] the wet concrete [A] below.
[C#m]
[B] They buried me [A] in that great gym [E] that goes no sound, [A] but I am [B] still around.
I'll always [E] be around, and around, and around, and around, [A] and around, [E] and around.

side,
[F#m] [E] I'll find a place to rest my spirit [A] if I can.
[F#m] Maybe I [E] will become a [A] highwayman again,
[E] or I [B] may simply be [E] a single driver, but [A]
I will [B] remain, and I'll be [E] back again, and again, [C#m] and [E] again, and [A] again, [E] and again.
