Bm 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 G Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade Em D A G Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade Bm A G A The bastards hung me in the 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 G I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico Em D A G I went aloft to furled the mainsail in a blow Bm A G A And when the yards broke off they 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 A G In a place called Boulder on the wild Colorado Em D A G I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below Bm A G A Then they buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound D A But I am still around Bm A G A I'll always be around, and around, 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 G I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can Em D A G Perhaps I may become a highwayman again Em D A G Or I may simply be a single drop of rain D A But I will remain Bm A G A And I'll be back again, and again, and again, and again Bm
