[B] [A] I was a highwayman, [G] along the coach roads [Bm] I did ride, [B] [A]
with [G] sword and [D] pistol [A] by my side.
[E]
Many a [Bm] young girl [A] lost her palms [G] to my trade,
[Em] [Bm] many a soldier [A] shed his lifeblood on [G] my grave.
[Bm] They [A] finally hung me in [G] the [A] spring of [D] 25, [G] but I am still [A]
alive.
[Bm]
I [A] was a sailor, I [G] was born upon [Bm] the tide, [A] and with [G] the sea I did [A]
abide.
[Em] I sailed [Bm] the squirrel round [A] the horn of [G] Mexico, [Em] I went [Bm] aloft to burrow [A] the mainsail in [G] a blow.
[Bm]
And when [A] the yard broke [G] off they said [A] that I [D] got killed, [G] but I am living [A] still.
[Bm] I was [A] a dam builder, across [G] the river deep [Bm] and wide, [A]
where steel [G] and water did [A] collide.
[Em] A place [Bm] called Boulder all [A] the while [G] Colorado,
[Em] I slipped [Bm] and fell into the [A] wet concrete [G] below.
They buried [A] me in that great [G] tomb [A] in Los [D] Los Sound, [G] but I am still [A] around.
Yes I'll always [D] be around, [A] and around, [Bm] and around.
[A] [G] I'll [D]
[Em] [A] [D]
[Bm] [A] fly a starship, [G] across the universe [Bm] divide, [A]
and when [G] I [D] reach the [A] other side,
[Em]
I'll find a [Bm] place to [A] rest my spirit [G] if I can.
[Em] Perhaps [Bm] I may [F#m] become a [G] highwayman again, or I [A] may simply be [G] a [A] single [D] drop of rain,
[G] but I will [A] remain, and I'll be [D] back again, [A] and again, [Bm] and again, and [A] again.
