Jimmy Webb and Mark Knopfler - The Highwayman Chords

[Bb] _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Fm] _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ [Cm] _ [Bb] I was a highwayman, [Gm] [Ab] along the coach [Cm] roads I did ride, _
_ [Bb] with sword [Eb] and pistol [Bb] by my side.
_ _ [F] _ [Fm] [Eb] Many a young man lost [Bb] to bubbles [Ab] to my trade, _ [Fm] _ [F] _ _
[Eb] many a soldier [Bb] left his life blood [Ab] on my blade.
_ [Cm] The [Bb] bastard turned [Ab] me in the spring [Bb] of twenty [Eb]-five, _ _ [Ab] but I am still [Bb]
alive. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Cm] _ [Ebm] I was a [Bb] sailor, [Eb] I [Ab] was born [Cm] upon the tide, _ _ [Bb] _ and [Fm] with the sea [Eb] I [Bb] did abide.
_ _ [Fm] _
I [Eb] sailed a schooner [Bb] round to horn to [Ab] Mexico, _
[Bb] _ [Eb] _ [Fm] _ [Eb] I went aloft to furl [Bb] the mainsail in [Ab] a glow.
_ [Bb] _ [Ab] _ [Cm] _ [Eb] When the odds came way to [Bb] say that [Eb] I got killed, _ _ but I am living [Bb] still, _ but I [Eb] [Bb] always will.
[Cm] _ I was [Bb] a dam builder, _ [Eb] [Ab] across the river [Cm] deep and wide, _ [Bb] where [Ab] steel [Cm] and water did [Bb]
collide.
A _ [Fm] _ [Eb] place called Boulder on [Bb] the wild [Ab] Colorado, [Bb] _ [Ab] _ [Gm] _ [Fm]
I slipped [Eb] and fell [Bb] into the wet concrete [Ab] [Bb] below.
[Ab] _ [Eb] _ [Cm] _ [Eb] They buried me [Cm] in that great tomb [Bb] that [Eb] knows no sound, [Ab] but I [Bb] am still around.
_ _ Seems like it all goes [Eb] round and round, [Bb] round and [Cm] round and [Eb] round and round [Ab] and round.
_ [Eb] _ _ [Fm] _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ [Cm] _ [Bb] I'll fly a starship [Eb] across [Cm] the universe divine, _
_ _ [Bb] and [Ab] when I [Bb] reach the other side,
_ _ [Fm] [Eb] I'll find a place [Bb] to rest my spirit if [Ab] I can, [Bb] _ [Ab] _ [Fm] _
perhaps [Eb] I may [Bb] become a songwriter [Ab] again.
[Bb] _
[Ab] _ [Gm] _ [Cm] _ [Eb] For I may simply [Ab] be [Bb] a single drop [Eb] of rain, _ or something [Bb] in the rain,
_ _ _ _ and I'll be [Eb] back again, [Bb] I'll be [Ab] back [Eb] again, oh yes [Ab] I will.
_ Here we go, [Eb] _ _ _ but [Bb] we'll all be [Eb] back again, _ [Gm] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] _
oh yes [Ab] we [Eb] will, yeah, [Fm] _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] but we'll all be _ _ back _ [Eb]
again. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
