Johnny Cash-Highwayman Chords

[Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ [Bm] _
[A] I was a highwayman, [G] along the coach roads [Bm] I did ride, _ _ [A] with [G] sword and [D] pistol [A] by my side. _
[Em] _ [Bm] Many a young maid [A] lost her baubles [G] to my trade, _ _ [Bm] _
many a soldier [A] shed his life blood [G] on my blade.
_ _ [Bm] The [A] bastard hung me [G] in the [D] spring of twenty-five, _ _
[G] but I am [A] still alive.
I _ _ _ [Bb] _ [Bm] _
[A] was a sailor, _ [G] I was born [Bm] upon the tide, _ [A] _
[G] with the [D] sea I [A] did abide. _ _
[Em] I [Bm] sailed a schooner [A] around the Horn of [G] Mexico, _ _ _ [Em] I [Bm] went aloft to [A] furl the [G] mainsail in a blow.
_ _ [Bm] And [A] when the yards [G] broke off [A] they said [D] that I got killed, _ _
[G] but I am [A] living still. _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _
[A] I was a dam builder, [G] across the river [Bm] deep and wide, _ _ [A] where [G] steel and [D] water [A] did collide. _ _
[Em] _ A place [Bm] called Boulder [A] on the wild [G] trough of my home, _ _ [Em] I [Bm] slipped and fell [A] into the wet [G] concrete below.
_ _ [Bm] They [A] buried me in [G] that grey [A] tomb that [D] knows no sound, [G] but I am [A] still around. _
I'll always [D] be around, [A] and around, [Bm] and around.
[A] _ _ [G] _ _
[D] _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
[G] _ [A] _ [D] _ _ _ _
[B] I'll [A] fly a starship, _ [G] across the [Bm] universe divine, _ _
[A] and [G] when I [D] reach the [A] other side,
_ _ [Em] I'll [Bm] find a place to rest [A] my spirit [G] if I can. _ _
[Em] Perhaps [Bm] I may become [A] a highwayman [G] again, _ _ _ [Bm] or I [A] may simply be [G] a single [A] drop [D] of rain, _ [G] but I will [A] remain. _
_ And I'll be back [D] again, [A] and again, [Bm] and again, [A] and again, [G] and again.
