I was [A] a highwayman, along the coach roads [Bm] I did ride,
[A] with [G] sword and [D] pistol [A] by my side.
[Em] Many a [Bm] young maid loved her [A] baubles to my [G] trade,
[Em] and many [Bm] a soldier shed [A] his life blood on [G] my blade.
[Bm] The [A] bastards hung me in the spring of twenty [D]-five,
[G]
but I [A] am still alive.
[B] I [A] was a sailor, I [G] was born upon the [Bm] tide,
[A] and [G] with the [D] sea [A] I did abide.
[Em] I sailed [Bm] a schooner [A] round the whole of New [G] Mexico,
[Em] I [Bm] went aloft to [A] swirl the main food [G] in a bowl,
[Bm] and when [A] the yards broke off [G] they said [A] that I [D] got killed,
[G] but I am [A] living still.
[B] [A] I was a dam builder, across [G] the river deep [Bm] and wide,
[A]
where steel and [D] water did [A] collide,
[Em]
a [Bm] place called Boulder [A] on the wild [G] Colorado.
[Em] I slipped [Bm] and fell into [A] the wet concrete [G] below,
[Bm] they [A] buried me in that great tomb that [D] knows no sound,
but I am [A] still around.
Always [D] be around, [A] and around, [Bm] and around, [A] and around, [G] and around.
[D] [Em]
[A] [D] [Bm]
I'll [A] fly a starship, [G] across the [Bm] universe divine,
[A] [G] and when I reach the other [A] side,
[E] I'll find [Bm] a place to rest [A] my spirit if [G] I can.
Perhaps [Bm] I may become a [G] highwayman again,
[Bm]
or [A] I may simply [G] be a [A] single drop of [D] rain,
but I will remain,
and I'll be back [D] [A] again, and again, [Bm] and again, and [A] again, [G] and again, [D] and again, and again.
