Chords for Jimmy Webb - the highwayman (original version)

[G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Cm] _ _ [Bb] I was a [Ebm]
[Bb] highwayman, [Ab] along the coach roads [Cm] I did ride,
_ [Bb] With [Ab] sword and [Eb] pistol [Bb] by my side,
_ _ [Fm] And [Ab] many a young maid [Gm] lost her baubles to [Ab] my trade,
_ _ [Fm] And [Cm] many a soldier left [Bb] his lifeblood [Ab] on my blade, _ _
[Cm] They finally hung me [Ab] in the [Bb] spring of twenty [Eb]-five,
_ [Ab] But I am [Bb] still a lion. _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] I [Bb] was a sailor, and [Ab] I was born upon [Cm] the tide,
_ _ [Bb] And [Ab] with the [Eb] sea I [Bb] did abide,
_ _ [Fm] I [Cm] sailed a schooner [Bb] round the whole of [Ab] Mexico, _
_ _ [Fm] I [Cm] went aloft to [Bb] furl the main [Ab] saline of Rome, _ _
[Cm] And when the yard broke off, [Ab] they [Bb] say that I [Eb] got killed,
_ [Ab] But I am living [Bb] still. _ _ _ _
_ _ [Cm] I [Bb] was a dam builder, _ [Ab] across the river [Cm] deep and wide,
_ _ [Bb] Where [Ab] steel and [Eb] water [Bb] did collide,
_ _ [Fm] A place [Cm] called Boulder [Bb] on the wild [Ab] Colorado, _
_ _ [Fm] I [Eb] slipped and fell into [Bb] the wet concrete [Ab] below, _ _ _
[Cm] They buried me in that [Ab] great [Bb] tomb that [Eb] knows no sound,
_ [Ab] But I am still [Bb] around, _ _ _
It all goes round [Eb] and round and round [Cm] and round and round and round and round and _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ [Eb] round and round. _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ [Cm] I'll fly [Bb] a starship, across [Ab] the universe [Cm] divine, _
_ _ [Bb] And when [Ab] I reach [Eb] the other [Bb] side,
_ _ _ [Fm] I'll find [Cm] a place to rest [Bb] my spirit if [Cm] I can,
[Fm] _
_ _ Perhaps [Cm] I may become [D] a [Cm] highwayman [Ab] again, _ _ _
[Cm] Or I may simply be [Ab] a single [Bb] drop [Eb] of rain,
_ [Ab] But I will still [Bb] remain,
_ _ I'll be back [Eb] again.
