Highwayman

Bm7            A              G                 Bm7
I was a highwayman, along the coach roads I did ride
A         G            A
Sword and pistol by my side
Em     Bm                   A            Em
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade
Em     Bm                A              Em
Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade
Bm7          A              G         Bm7
The basterds hung me in the spring of 25
D               A
But I am still alive

Bm7        A           G             Bm7
I was a sailor, I was born upon the tide
A         G            A
With the sea I did abide
Em            Bm               A         Em
I sailed a schooner round the horn of Mexico
Em            Bm               A            Em
I went aloft and furled the main sail in a blow
Bm7           A                  G                 Bm7
And when the yard broke off they say that I got killed
D               A
But I am living still

Bm7        A                   G             Bm7
I was a dam builder, across a river deep and wide
A         G            A
Where steel and water did collide
Em                  Bm            A        Em
In a place called Boulder on the wild Colorado
Em             Bm          A            Em
I slipped and fell on the wet concrete below
Bm7          A           G                      Bm7
They buried me in that gray tomb that knows no sounds
D               A
But I am still around

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

Bm7           A                   G        Bm7
I'll fly a starship across the universe divide
A            G               A
And when I reach the other side
Em            Bm              A           Em
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
Em         Bm              A         Em
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again

Bm7        A            G             Bm7
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
D               A
But I will remain

                D           D/C#        Bm7         A           G    D/F# Em
And I'll be back again, and again, and again, and again, and again
