Highway Man

Intro: Bm7

Verse 1: (Willie Nelson)
Bm7     A                     G 
I was a highwayman, along the 
                Bm7
coach roads I did ride,
A         G      D     A
Sword and pistol by my side,
Em     Bm7                 A    
Many a young maid lost her 
      G
baubles to my trade,
Em     Bm7              A       
Many a soldier shed his 
        G
lifeblood on my blade,
Bm7          A              G   
The bastards hung me in the 
      A      D
spring of twenty-five,
    G           A
But I am still alive

Verse 2: (Kris Kristofferson)
Bm7     A             G         
I was a sailor, I was born upon 
    Bm7
the tide,
A        G     D     A
With the sea I did abide,
Em         Bm7                A 
I sailed a schooner round the 
          G
horn of Mexico,
Em      Bm7                 A   
I went aloft and furled the main
           G
 sail in a blow,

Bm7          A              G   
And when the yard broke off they
      A      D
 say that I got killed,
    G           A
But I am living still

Verse 3: (Waylon Jennings)
Bm7            A              G 
I was a dam builder, across a 
                Bm7
river long and wide,
A         G           D       A
Where steel and water did collide,
Em     Bm7                 A    
A place called boulder on the 
      G
wild Colorado,
Em            Bm7         
I slipped and fell on the wet 
A              G
concrete below,
Bm7          A              G   
They buried me in that gray tomb
      A        D
 that knows no sounds,
    G           A
But I am still around,

Chorus: (All)
                D           D/C#  
      Bm7
          G    D/F# Em
I'll always be around, and around, 
and around, and around, and around

G  A  D

Verse 4: (Johnny Cash)
Bm7        A                
I'll fly a starship across the 
   G          Bm7
universe divide,
A          G         D     A
And when I reach the other side,
Em          Bm7              A  
I'll find a place to rest my 
         G
spirit if I can,
Em        Bm7          A         
Perhaps I may become a highwayman 
 G
again,
Bm7      A           G      A  
Or I may simply be a single 
     D
drop of rain,
G            A
But I will remain,

Outro: (All) (same chords as bridge)
                  D          D/C# 
      Bm7        A
        G    D/F# Em
And I'll be back again, and again, 
and again, and again, and again
