[Bm]
I
[Bb] [Bm] [A] was a highwayman, along [G] the coach roads I [Bm] did ride,
[A] with sword [G] and [D] pistol by [A] my side.
[Em] Many [Bm] a young maid [A] lost her baubles to [G] my trade,
[Bm] many a soldier shed [A] his lifeblood on [G] my blade.
[Bm]
The [A] bastards hung me in [G] the spring [D] of twenty-five, [G] but I am [A] still alive.
[Bb] [Bm] I [A] was a sailor, I [G] was gone [Bm] upon the tide,
[A] with [G] 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 maizel [G] in a blow.
[Bm]
And [A] when the yards broke [G] off they [A] said that [D] I got killed, [G] but I am [A] living still.
[Bm] I [A] 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 called [Bm] Boulder [A] on the wild [G] Colorado,
[Em] I [Bm] slipped and fell [A] into the wet [G] concrete below.
[Bm]
They [A] buried me in [G] that great [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 and [A] around [G] and around.
[D] [Em]
[G] [A] [D]
[B] I'll [A] fly a starship [G] across the universe [Bm] divine, [A] and when [G] I [D] reach the other [A] 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 [A] single drop [D] of rain, [G] but I will [A] remain.
I'll be back [D] again [A] and again [Bm] and again [A] and again [G] and again.
