[B] I [A] was a highwayman, [G] along the coach roads [Bm] I did ride.
[A]
[E] Sword and pistol by [A] my side.
[E] [Bm] Many a young man [A] lost her bubbles to [G] my tree.
[E]
[Bm] Many a soldier shed [A] his lifeblood on [G] my blade.
[B] The [A] bastard hung me in the spring of [D] twenty-five.
[G] But I, [A]
I am still [B] alive.
I was [A] a sailor.
I [G] was born upon [B] the tide.
[A] And with [D] the sea I [A] did abide.
[E] I set [B] a school and opened [A] the heart of [G] Mexico.
[E] I went [B] aloft and [A] furled the mainsail [G] in the blow.
[Bm] And when [A] the yards broke off they said,
Oh [D] gosh, hell!
[G] But I'm [A] living still.
[B] I [A] was a dam builder, across [G] the river deep [Bm] and wide.
[A] Where steel [G] and water [A] did collide.
[Em] The place [B] called Boulder [A] on the wild of [G] Colorado.
[E] I swept [B] and fell into [A] the wet [G] concrete below.
[Bm] They [A] buried me in that great tomb that [D] knows no sound.
[G] But I am [A] still around.
I'll always [D] be around [G#] and around [B] and around [A] [G] and around.
[F#] [E]
[G] [D]
[A] [B] I [A] faced a [D] ship across [G] the universe [B] divine.
[E] And when [Em] I reached the [A] other side.
[Em] I'd find [B] a place to rest [A] my spirit if [G] I can.
[Em] The words [B] that made me come, [A] I would not [G] again.
[B] Oh, [A] they seemed to be a single [D] drop of rain.
[G] But I will [A] repay.
And I'll be [D] back again [C#] and again [B] [A] and again [G] and again.
