Bm7     A                    G  
I was a highwayman along the 
               Bm7
coach roads I did ride
A              G      D     A
with 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 lost his 
        G
lifeblood on my blade.
Bm7          A              G   
The bastards hung me in the 
      A D
spring of '25
    G           A
But I am still alive.

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 to 'furl the 
        G
mainsail in a 'blow
Bm7          A                    
and when the yards broke off they 
 G           A
said that I got killed
D        G         A
  But I am living still.

Bm7         A                  G
I was a dam builder across the 
              Bm7
river deep and wide
A               G     D      A
where steel and water did collide
Em             Bm7            A 
A place called Boulder on the 
       G
wide Colorado
Em            Bm7           A   
I slipped and fell into the wet 
           G
concrete below
Bm7         A                G  
They buried me in that great 
       A        D
tomb that knows no sound
    G          A
But I am still around
               D          D/C#    
I'll always be around and around 
    Bm7       A          G  D/F# Em
and around and around and around

( G   A   D  )

Bm7     A                   G   
I fly a starship across the 
     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
                 D         D/C#   
and I'll be back again and again 
   Bm7       A         G  D/F# Em
and again and again and again

( G   A   D )
