	Bm7	A	G	Bm7
	I was a	highwayman, along the	coach roads I did	ride,

	A	G	D	A
	Sword and	pistol	by my	side,

	Em	Bm7	A	G
	Many a	young maid lost her	baubles to	my trade,

	Em	Bm7	A	G
	Many a	soldier shed his	lifeblood on my	blade,

	Bm7	A	G	A	D
	The bastards	hung me in the	spring of	twenty-	five,

	G	A
But	I am still a	live

Verse 2: (Kris Kristofferson)

	Bm7	A	G	Bm7
	I was a	sailor, I was	born upon the	tide,

	A	G	D	A
	With the	sea I	did ab	ide,

	Em	Bm7	A	G
	I sailed a	schooner round the	horn of Mexi	co,

	Em	Bm7	A	G
	I went a	loft and furled the	main sail in a	blow,

	Bm7	A	G	A	D
	And when the	yard broke off	they say t	hat I g	ot killed,

	G	A
But	I am living	still

Verse 3: (Waylon Jennings)

	Bm7	A	G	Bm7
	I was a dam bui	lder, across a	river long and wid	e,

	A	G	D	A
	Where stee	l and water	did coll	ide,

	Em	Bm7	A	G
	A place	called boulder on t	he wild Col	orado,

	Em	Bm7	A	G
	I slipped and	fell on the	wet concrete be	low,

	Bm7	A	G	A	D
	They buried m	e in that gray	tomb that	knows no	sounds,

	G	A
But	I am still a	round,

Chorus: (All)

	G	D/F#	Em
I'll alway	s be	aroun	d, and around, and around, and around, and around

Verse 4: (Johnny Cash)

	Bm7	A	G	Bm7
	I'll fly a	starship across the	universe di	vide,

	A	G	D	A
	And when I	reach the	other	side,

	Em	Bm7	A	G
	I'll find a	place to rest my	spirit if I	can,

	Em	Bm7	A	G
	Perhaps I	may become a	highwayman	again,

	Bm7	A	G	A	D
	Or I may	simply be a	single	drop of	rain,

	G	A
	But I will re	main,

Outro: (All) (same chords as bridge)

	G	D/F#	Em
And I'll	be b	ack a	gain, and again, and again, and again, and again

G A D A D (let D ring)
