Highwayman The Highwaymen
The Highwaymen – Highwayman
Capo fret 2.
[Am]I was a [G]highwayman. Along the [F]coach roads I did [Am]ride
[G]With sword and [F]pistol by my [G]side
[Dm]Many a y[Am]oung maid lost her [G]baubles to my [F]trade
[Dm]Many a s[Am]oldier shed his [G]lifeblood on my [F]blade
[Am]The bastards [G]hung me in the [F]spring of twenty-[C]five
[F]But I am still [G]alive.
[Am]I was a [G]sailor. I was born upo[F]n the tide[Am]
[G]And with the se[F]a I did abide[G].
[Dm]I sailed[Am] a schooner round t[G]he Horn to Mex[F]ico
[Dm]I went a[Am]loft and furled [G]the mainsail in [F]a blow
[Am]And when the [G]yards broke off[F] they said that I[C] got killed
[F]But I am living[G] still.
[Am]I was a [G]dam builder across the[F] river deep and wi[Am]de
[G]Where steel and[F] water did co[G]llide
[Dm]A place [Am]called Boulder on t[G]he wild Colora[F]do
[Dm]I slippe[Am]d and fell into [G]the wet concrete[F] below
[Am]They buried m[G]e in that great[F] tomb that knows [C]no sound
[F]But I am still [G]around..
[G]I'll always be [C]ar[C/Am]ound a[Am]nd [G]ar[F]ou[Em]nd..[Dm].......[F]..[G].[C]
[Am]I fly a [G]starship across the Un[F]iverse divide[Am]
[G]And when I reac[F]h the other s[G]ide
[Dm]I'll fin[Am]d a place to rest m[G]y spirit if I [F]can
[Dm]Perhaps [Am]I may become a h[G]ighwayman again[F]
[Am]Or I may simp[G]ly be a single [F]drop of rain[C]
[F]But I will rema[G]in
[G]And I'll be bac[C]k [C/Am]again,[Am] an[G]d [F]ag[Em]ain [Dm]and aga[F]in[G] a[C]nd again and again..
