[Verse 1] (Willie Nelson)

Bm         A                     
   I was a highwayman, along the 
G                 Bm
coach roads I did ride
A                G      D     A
  With sword and pistol by my side
Em              Bm         
   Many a young maid lost her 
   A             G
baubles to my trade
Em        Bm                A   
   Many a soldier shed his 
           G
lifeblood on my blade
Bm              A           
   The bastards hung me in the 
   G         A      D
spring of twenty five
    G           A       A
But I am still alive


[Verse 2] (Kris Kristofferson)

Bm         A             G      
   I was a sailor, I was born 
       Bm
upon the tide
A          G      D    A
  With the sea, I did abide
Em            Bm                 
   I sailed a schooner round the 
A           G
horn to Mexico
Continues after the ad
Em         Bm               
   I went aloft and furled the 
   A             G
mainsail in a blow
Bm              A                
   And when the yards broke off, 
     G         A     D
they said that I got killed
    G           A        A
But I am living still


[Verse 3] (Waylon Jennings)

Bm           A                   
   I was a dam builder, across a 
G              Bm
river deep and wide
A                 G     D      A
  Where steel and water did collide
Em                Bm             
   A place called Boulder on the 
A        G
wild Colorado
Em               Bm             
   I slipped and fell into the 
A               G
wet concrete below
Bm             A               G
   They buried me in that gray 
         A       D
tomb that knows no sound
    G           A
But I am still around


[Bridge] (All)

                D           A/C#  
I'll always be around, and around,
      Bm          A
 and around, and around,
     G           D/F#     Em     
and around, and around ...
      G A D



[Verse 4] (Johnny Cash)

Bm            A                   
   I'll fly a starship 'cross the 
G          Bm
universe divide
A            G         D     A
  And when I reach the other side
Em             Bm               
   I'll find a place to rest my 
A           G
spirit if I can
Em           Bm               A 
   Perhaps I may become a 
      G
highwayman again
Bm          A           G      
   Or I may simply be a single 
A       D
drop of rain
G            A
But I will remain


[Other] (All)

                  D          A/C# 
And I'll be back again, and again,
      Bm         A
 and again, and again,
     G          D/F#     Em      
and again, and again ...
     G A D
