Highwaymen

Verse:
Bm      A
I was a highwayman
          G                 Bm
Along the coach roads I did ride
A         G            A
Sword and pistol by my side
Em     Bm                  A    
Many a young maid lost her 
          G
bottles to my trade
Em     Bm                A      
Many a soldier shed his life 
         G
blood on my blade
Bm           A              G   
The bastards hung me in the 
      A      D
spring of twenty five
    G            A
But I am still alive

Verse:

Continues after the ad
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:

I was a damnbuilder
across the river deep and wide
where steel and water did collide
a place called Boulder on the wild 
Colorado
I slipped and fell into the wet 
concrete below
they buried me in that great tomb 
that knows no sound
but I'm still around

                D           D/C#  
I'll always be around, and around,
      Bm7         A           G   
 and around, and around, and 
 D/F# Em
around


Verse:

I'll fly a starship
'cross the universe divine
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
and I'll be back again, (and again -
 repeat and fade)
