It's great to be here, thank you.
We've had a pretty good run, these next guys and me.
[Ab] These other three fellas, we've been across the [N] country and around the world together.
And there's still [Ebm] no one that I'd rather [D] introduce than [Eb] my musical [E] comrades.
[Gm] Chris [Ebm] Gustafsson, Waylon Jennings, [G] and a [F] baby-faced kid from Texas named Willie Nelson.
They call us the [Eb] Highwaymen.

[B]
[G] [Bb]
[Bm]
[Bb] [B] [A]
[G] the coach [Bm] road I did ride,
[A] A sword [G] and pistol by [A] my side.
[Gbm] [Em] Many [Bm] a young man lost [A] her problems to my [G] grade.
[Em] Many a [Bm] soldier shed his [A] life blood on my [G] blade.
[Bm] Bastards [A] hung me in the [G] spring of twenty [A]-five,
[D] But I am still [G] alive.
[A]
[Bm] I was [A] a sailor,
I [G] was born upon [Bm] the tide,
[A] And with [G] the sea [A] I did fight.
[Em] I [Bm] sailed a school [A] around the lawn of [G] Mexico.
[Em] I [Bm] went along the [A] fur of the mainsail [G] of the boat.
[Bm]
And [A] when the yards broke [G] off they [A] said that I [D] got killed.
[G] But I never [A] ever said that.
[Bm] [A] I was a bandit,
[G] Across a river [Bm] deep and wide,
[A] Where [G] steel and [D] water [A] did collide.
[Em]
[Bm] A place called Boulder [A] Road, the wild, [G] hard bottom.
[Em] I [Bm] slipped and fell [A] into the wet [G] concrete below.
[Bm]
They [A] buried me in [G] that great [Am] tomb that [D] knows no sound.
[G] But I am [A] still around.
Always [D] be around, and [A] around, [Bm] and around, [D] and around, [G] and around, [D] and around, [Em] and around.
[G] [A]
[D] [Bm] I'll [A] fly a starship,
[G] Across the universe divide.
[Bm] [A] And when [G] I reach the [A] other side,
[G]
[Em] I'll [Bm] find a place to rest [A] my spirit [G] if I can.
[Em] Perhaps [Bm] I may become [A] a highway [G] mannequin,
[Bm] 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, [D] and again, [G] and again, [D] and again, [Em] and again.
