Highwayman

Bm

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

Bm      A      G
I was a sailor
                        Bm   A
And I was born upon the tide
             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   Bm
I went aloft to furl the mainsail in a blow
          A                    G             A
When the yards broke off they said that I got killed
    D         A
But I'm living still

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

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

    Bm         A          G          Bm
And again, and again, and again
