[Bm7]I was a [A]highwayman along the [G]coach roads I did [Bm7]ride
[A]with sword and [G]pistol [D]by my [A]side
[Em]Many a [Bm7]young maid lost her [A]baubles to my [G]trade.
[Em]Many a [Bm7]soldier lost his [A]lifeblood on my [G]blade.
[Bm7]The bastards [A]hung me in the [G]spring of [A]'2[D]5
But [G]I am still a[A]live.
[Bm7]I was a [A]sailor; I was [G]born upon the [Bm7]tide
[A]with the [G]sea I [D]did [A]abide
[Em]I sailed a [Bm7]schooner round the [A]horn of Mexi[G]co
[Em]I went [Bm7]aloft to 'furl the [A]mainsail in a [G]'blow
[Bm7]and when the [A]yards broke off they [G]said that [A]I got [D]killed
But [G]I am living [A]still.
[Bm7]I was a dam [A]builder across the [G]river deep and [Bm7]wide
[A]where steel and [G]water [D]did col[A]lide
[Em]A place called [Bm7]Boulder on the [A]wide Colo[G]rado
[Em]I slipped and [Bm7]fell into the [A]wet concrete be[G]low
[Bm7]They buried [A]me in that great [G]tomb that [A]knows no [D]sound
But [G]I am still [A]around
I'll always be [D]around and [D/C#]around and a[Bm7]round and [A]around and [G]aro[D/F#]und[Em]
[G] [A] [D]
[Bm7]I fly a [A]starship across the [G]universe [Bm7]divide
[A]and when I [G]reach the [D]other [A]side
[Em]I'll find a [Bm7]place to rest my [A]spirit if I [G]can
[Em]Perhaps I [Bm7]may become a [A]highwayman a[G]gain
[Bm7]or I may [A]simply be a [G]single [A]drop of [D]rain
But [G]I will re[A]main
and I'll be back [D]again and [D/C#]again and [Bm7]again and [A]again and [G]aga[D/F#]in[Em]
[G] [A] [D]
[Fin]
