Bm7     A                    G                 Bm7 
I was a highwayman along the coach roads I did ride 
A              G      D     A 
with sword and pistol by my side 
Em     Bm7                 A             G 
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade.  
Em     Bm7              A               G 
Many a soldier lost his lifeblood on my blade. 
Bm7          A              G         A D 
The bastards hung me in the spring of '25 
    G           A 
But I am still alive. 
 
Bm7     A             G             Bm7 
I was a sailor; I was born upon the tide 
A        G     D   A 
with the sea I did abide 
Em         Bm7                A           G 
I sailed a schooner round the horn of Mexico 
Em     Bm7                A             G 
I went aloft to 'furl the mainsail in a 'blow 
Bm7          A                     G           A     
and when the yards broke off they said that I got killed 
D        G         A 
  But I am living still. 
 
Bm7         A                  G              Bm7 
I was a dam builder across the river deep and wide 
A               G     D      A 
where steel and water did collide 
Em             Bm7            A        G 
A place called Boulder on the wide Colorado 
Em            Bm7           A              G 
I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below 
Bm7         A                G         A        D 
They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound 
    G          A 
But I am still around 
               D          D/C#        Bm7       A          G  D/F# Em 
I'll always be around and around and around and around and around 

( G   A   D  )
 
Bm7     A                   G        Bm7 
I fly a starship across the universe divide 
A          G         D     A 
and when I reach the other side 
Em          Bm7              A           G 
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can 
Em        Bm7          A           G 
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again 
Bm7      A           G      A       D 
or I may simply be a single drop of rain 
    G        A 
But I will remain 
                 D         D/C#      Bm7       A         G  D/F# Em 
and I'll be back again and again and again and again and again 

( G   A   D )
