Highwayman

Intro: Bm7

Verse 1: (Willie Nelson)
Bm7            A              G 
I was a highwayman, along the 
                Bm7
coach roads I did ride,
A         G            A
Sword and pistol by my side,
Em     D                 A      
Many a young maid lost her 
     Em
baubles to my trade,
Em     D                Em      
Many a soldier shed his 
        A
lifeblood on my blade,
Bm7          A              G   
The basterds hung me in the 
      Bm7
spring of 25,
D               A
But I am still alive

Verse 2: (Kris Kristopherson)
I was a sailor, I was born upon the 
tide,
With the sea I did abide,
I sailed a schooner round the horn 
of Mexico,
I went aloft and furled the main 
sail in a blow,
And when the yard broke off they say
 that I got killed,
But I am living still

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

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

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