Verse: 
B5      A5  
I was a highwayman 
          G5                 B5 
Along the coach roads I did ride 
A5         G5            A5 
Sword and pistol by my side 
E5     B5                  A5              G5 
Many a young maid lost her bottles to my trade 
E5     B5                A5               G5 
Many a soldier shed his life blood on my blade 
B5           A5              G5         A5      D5 
The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty five 
    G5            A5 
But I am still alive 
 
Verse: 
 
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 
                D5           D5        B5         A5           G5    D5 E5 
I'll always be around, and around, and around, and around, and 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)
