Highwayman Chords by Glen Campbell

_ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I [Bb] was a highwayman, [Ab] along the coach roads I [Cm] did ride, _ _
[Gm] With [Ab] sword [Eb] and pistol by my [Bb] side. _ _
[Gm] _ [Fm] _ Many a [Cm] young maid [Bb] lost their baubles to my [Fm] trade,
_ _ _ _ [Cm] Many a soldier [Bb] shed his lifeblood on [Ab] my blade.
[Fm] _ _ _ [Cm]
The bastards hung me [Ab] in the spring [Bb] of twenty [Eb]-five, _
_ [Ab] But I am [Bb] still alive. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Cm] I [Bb] was a sailor, _ [Ab] and I was born [Cm] upon the tide, _
_ _ [Bb] And with [Fm] the [Eb] sea I [Bb] did abide.
_ _ [Fm] I sailed [Cm] a schooner round [Bb] the horn to [Ab] Mexico,
_ _ _ [Fm] I went [Cm] aloft to furl the [Bb] mainsail in a [Ab] blow. _ _ _
[Cm] And when the yards broke [Ab] off they [Bb] say that [Eb] I got killed,
_ _ [Ab] But I am living [Bb] still. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] I was [Bb] a dam builder, across [Ab] the rivers deep [Cm] and wide,
_ _ [Bb] Where steel [Ab] and water [Eb] did [Bb] collide,
_ _ _ [Fm] A place called [Cm] Boulder on the [Bb] wall of Colorado.
[Ab] _ _ _ _ [Fm] I slipped [Cm] and fell into [Bb] the wet concrete [Ab] below, _ _ _
[Cm] They [Eb] buried me in [Ab] that great [Bb] tomb that [Eb] knows no sound,
_ [Ab] But I am still [Gm] around, _ [Eb] _
[Bb] I guess I'll always [Eb] be around,
[Gm] And around, and [Eb] around, and around.
[Ab] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ [Cm] _ I'll [Bb] fly a [Ebm] starship [Bb] _
[Fm] across the [Cm] universe divide, _ _ _
[Bb] And when [Ab] I reach the other [Bb] side,
_ [Gm] _
[Fm] I'll find a [Cm] place to rest my [Bb] spirit if [Ab] I can.
_ _ [Fm] Or perhaps I [Cm] may [Bb] become a highwayman [Ab] again,
_ _ [Cm] _ Or I may [Gm] simply [Ab] be a [Bb] single [Eb] drop of rain, _ _
[Ab] But I will [Bb] remain, _ _ and I'll be back [Eb] again,
_ And again, and again.
