[A] Well, we're back [G] and we're going to take you back to the stage with the [Bm] Highwaymen, Willie, Johnny, [A] Waylon and Chris.
[D]
[G] I'm going to sing a [A] song about the time I [Bm] was a [A] sailor, and I was [G] born upon [Bm] the tide, [A] and with the [D] sea I [A] did abide.
[Em] And I [Bm] sailed a schooner round the horn to [G] Mexico, [Em] I went [Bm]
aloft to [A] furl the mainsail in a blow.
[G]
[Bm] And when the [A] yard broke off they say that I [D] got killed, [G] but I am [A] living still.
Yes, I am.
[B] I [A] was a dam builder [G] across a river deep and [Bm] wide where [G] steam and water [D] do [A] collide.
[Em] A place [Bm] called Boulder on the wild [G] Colorado, [Em] I slipped [Bm] and fell into the wet [G] concrete below.
[Bm]
They [A] buried me in that great tomb that [D] knows no sound, [G] but I am still [A] around.
I'll always [D] be around and [A] around and [Bm]
around [A] and around [G] and around.
[D] [Em]
[D]
[B] I'll fly a [A] starship across [C] the universe [Bm] divine, [A] and when I reach the other side, I'll [Bm] find a place to [A] rest my spirit if I [G] can.
[E] Perhaps [Bm] I may become [A] a Highwayman again, or I may simply [G] be a single drop of [D] rain, but I will [A] remain and I'll come back again.
[A] And again [Bm] and again [A] and again [G] and again and again [Em] and again.
