Highway Man

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


Bm      A
I was a sailor
G                       Bm
And I was born upon the tide
A             G                A
And with the sea I did abide.
Em           D                A 
I sailed a schooner round the 
        G
Horn to Mexico

Em           D                A 
I went aloft to furled the 
         G
mainsail in a blow
Bm           A                   
And when the yards broke off they
G                   A
 said that I got killed
D             A
But I'm living still.

Bm      A
I was a dam builder
G                          Bm
Across this river deep and wide
A               G               A
Where steel and water did collide
Em                D             
In a place called Boulder on the
A          G
 wild Colorado
Em            D              
I slipped and fell into the wet 
      A                G
concrete below
Bm           A                  
Then they buried me in that 
G                  A
great tomb that knows no sound
D             A
But I am still around
               Bm           A     
I'll always be around, and around,
      G           A
 and around, and around

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


(Bm)
