Highwayman Chords by The Highwaymen

[Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ [Bm] I [A] was a highwayman, [G] along the coach roads [Bm] I did ride, _ _ [A] with [G] sword and [D] pistol by [A] my side. _
[Em] _ [Bm] Many a young maid [A] lost her marbles to [G] my trade, _ _ [Bm] _
many a soldier shed [A] his lifeblood on [G] my blade.
_ _ [Bm] The [A] bastards hung me [G] in the [D] spring of 25, _ _ [G] but I am [A] still alive.
I _ _ _ [Bb] _ [Bm] _
[A] was a sailor, I [G] was born [Bm] upon the tide, _ [A] _
[G] with the [D] sea I [A] did abide. _ _
[Em] I [Bm] sailed a schooner [A] around the Horn of [G] Mexico, _ _ _ [Em] I [Bm] went aloft to [A] furl the maizel [G] in a blow.
_ _ [Bm] And [A] when the yards broke [G] off [A] they said that [D] I got killed, _ [G] but I'm [A] living still. _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _
[A] I was a dam builder, [G] across a river [Bm] deep and wide, _ _ [A] where [G] steel and [D] water [A] did collide. _ _
[Em] A [Bm] place called Boulder [A] on the wild [G] Colorado, _ _ _ [Em] I [Bm] slipped and fell [A] into the wet [G] concrete below.
_ _ [Bm] They [Am] buried me in [G] that great [A] tomb that [D] knows no sound, [G] but I am [A] still around. _
I'll always [D] be around, [A] and around, [Bm] and around.
[A] _ _ [G] _ _
[D] _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
[G] _ [A] _ [D] _ _ _ _
[B] I'll [A] fly a starship, _ [G] across the universe [Bm] divide, _ _
[A] and when [G] I [D] reach the other [A] side,
_ _ [Em] I'll [Bm] find a place to rest [A] my spirit if [G] I can. _ _
[Em] Perhaps [Bm] I may become [A] a highwayman [G] again,
_ _ _ [Bm] or I may [A] simply be [G] a single [A] drop [D] of rain, _ [G] but I will [A] remain, _ _ and I'll be back [D] again, [A] and again, [Bm] and again.
