[Cm]
I was [Eb] a [Bb] highwayman [Eb] along the coach [Ab] roads I did [Cm] ride
With [Bb]
a [Ab] sword and pistol [Eb] [Bb] by my side
[Fm] Many [Ab] a young man [Cm] [Dm] lost to bubbles [Bb] [Ab] to my train
[Eb] [Fm] Many [Eb] a soldier left [Dm] his [Bb] lifeblood [Ab] on my [Eb] bed
They [Cm] finally [Bb]
hung me [Eb] in the spring [Bb] of [Eb] 25
But I was still [Fm]
alive
I
[Cm] was [F] a sailor [Eb] and I was [Ab] born upon [Cm] the tide
And [C] [Bb]
with [Ab] a sea [Eb] I did [Bb] abide
I [Fm] [Ab] sailed a spoon around [Dm] the Horn [Bb] of [C] Mexico
[Ab]
[Eb] [Fm] I went [Ab] aloft to pearl [Dm] the [Bb] mainsail [Ab] in a boat
[Eb] [Cm] And when [Bb] the yards broke [Ab] off they say that [Bb] I got [Eb] killed
But I'm a-living [Fm]
still
Perhaps I always will, I don't know
[C] I [Bb] was a dam builder [Gm] across [Eb] the river deep [Cm] and wide
[Fm] [Cm] [Bb]
Where steel [Ab] and [Eb] water did [Bb] collide
A [Fm] [Ab] place called Boulder on [Dm] the [Bb] wild [Ab] Colorado
I [Eb] [Fm] [Ab] slipped and fell into [Dm] the wet concrete [C] below
[Cm]
They [Bb] buried me [Eb] in that great tomb [Bb] that knows [Eb] no sound
But I'm still [Fm]
around
Seems like it all goes round [Eb] and round
[Bb]
Round and round [Cm] and round
[Bb]
Said [Eb] Dozen, oh and here we go
[Bb] [Eb] I'll [Bb]
[C] fly [Bb] a starship [Eb] across the universe [Cm] divine
[Bb] And when I [Ab] [Eb] reach the other [Bb] side
[Fm] I'll [Ab] find a place [Cm] to rest [Dm] my spirit [Bb] [Fm] if [Ab] I can
[Eb] Perhaps [Fm] [Eb] I may become [Bb] a highwayman [C] again
[Bb] [Fm]
[C] Or I [Bb] may simply [Eb] be a single [Bb] [Eb] dropper
But something will [Fm] remain
I'll be back [Eb] again, [Bb] I'll be back [Cm]
again
[Bb] Yes I [Eb] will, oh and here we go
But we'll all [Bb] be back [Eb]
again
[Bb] [Cm]
[Bb] Yes [Eb] we will, oh [Fm] and [Gm]
[Bb] [Eb] here we [Bb]
[Eb] go
[Bb] But we'll all [Fm] be back again
[Eb]
