[Bm] I [A] was a highwayman, [G] along the coach roads [Bm] I did ride, [A] with [G] sword and pistol by [A] my side.
[Em] [Bm] Many a young maid [A] lost her marbles to [G] my trade, [Em]
[Bm] many a soldier shed [A] his lifeblood on [G] my blade.
[Bm] The [A] master tongued me [G] in the spring of [D] twenty-five, [G] but I am [A] still alive.
[Bm] I [A] was a sailor, [G] I was born [Bm] upon the tide, [A]
[G] with the 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 mainsail [G] in a blow,
[B] and [A] when the arch broke [G] off they said that [D] I got killed,
[G] but I'm [A] living still.
[Bm]
[A] I was a dam builder, [G] across the river [Bm] deep and wide, [A] where [G] steel and water [A] did collide.
[E] [Bm] A place called Boulder [A] on the wild [G] Toronto, I [Em]
[Bm] slipped and fell [A] into the wet [G] concrete below.
[Bm] They [A] buried me in [G] that great tomb that [D] knows no sound, [G] but I am [A] still around, I'll always [D] be around.

[B] I'll [A] fly a starship [G] across the [Bm] universe divide,
[A] and when I reach the other side,
[Em] I'll [Bm] find a place to rest [A] my spirit [G] if I can.
[E] Perhaps [Bm] I may become [A] a highwayman [G] again,
or [Bm] I [A] may simply be a single 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.
