Verse 1 - (Willie Nelson)
[Bm7]I was a highway[A]man, along the [G]coach roads I did [Bm7]ride,
[A]Sword and [G]pistol by my [A]side,
[Em]Many a [Bm]young maid lost her b[A]aubles to my t[G]rade,
[Em]Many a [Bm]soldier shed his l[A]ifeblood on my [G]blade,
[Bm7]The bastards [A]hung me in the [G]spring of [Bm7]25,
[D]But I am still a[A]live...
Verse 2 - (Kris Kristopherson)
I was a sailor, I was born upon the tide,
With the sea I did abide,
I sailed a schooner round the horn of Mexico,
I went aloft and furled the main sail in a blow,
And when the yard broke off they said that I got killed,
But I am living still...
Verse 3 - (Waylon Jennings)
I was a dam builder, across a river deep and wide,
Where steel and water did collide,
A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado,
I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below,
They buried me in that gray tomb that knows no sounds,
But I am still around,
I'll always be a[D]round, and a[D/C#]round, and a[Bm7]round, and a[A]round, and a[G]round[D/F#] [Em]
Verse 4 - (Johnny Cash)
I'll fly a starship across the universe divide,
And when I reach the other side,
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can,
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again,
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain,
But I will remain...
And I'll be ba[D]ck again, an[D/C#]d again, and[Bm7] again, and [A]again, and a[G]gain[D/F#] [Em]
