Highwayman

Am      G                    F  
I was a highwayman. Along the 
              Am
coach roads I did ride
G              F           G
With sword and pistol by my side
Dm      Am                G     
Many a young maid lost her 
       F
baubles to my trade
Dm      Am             G        
Many a soldier shed his 
      F
lifeblood on my blade
Am           G             F    
The bastards hung me in the 
           C
spring of twenty-five
F              G
But I am still alive.

[Verse 2]
Am      G                    F  
I was a sailor. I was born upon 
              Am
the tide
G              F           G
And with the sea I did abide.
Dm      Am                G     
I sailed a schooner round the 
       F
Horn to Mexico
Dm      Am             G        
I went aloft and furled the 
      F
mainsail in a blow

Am           G             F    
And when the yards broke off 
           C
they said that I got killed
F              G
But I am living still.

[Verse 3]
Am      G                    F  
I was a dam builder across the 
              Am
river deep and wide
G              F           G
Where steel and water did collide
Dm      Am                G     
A place called Boulder on the 
       F
wild Colorado
Dm      Am             G        
I slipped and fell into the wet 
      F
concrete below
Am           G             F    
They buried me in that great 
           C
tomb that knows no sound
F              G
But I am still around
G               C           G/B 
I'll always be around, and 
        Am
around, and around
     G           F           C/E  
And around, and around, and around
 Dm   F G C


[Verse 4]
Am      G                    F  
I fly a starship across the 
              Am
Universe divide
G              F           G
And when I reach the other side
Dm      Am                G     
I'll find a place to rest my 
       F
spirit if I can
Dm      Am             G        
Perhaps I may become a 
      F
highwayman again
Am           G             F    
Or I may simply be a single drop
           C
 of rain
F              G
But I will remain
G                 C          G/B
And I'll be back again, and 
       Am
again and again
     G          F          C/E  
And again, and again, and again
Dm   F G C
