Intro:
Verse 1
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
I was a highwayman, along the coach roads I did ride,
ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Sword and pistol by my side,
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade,
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade,
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
The bastards hung me in the spring of 25,
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
But I am still alive.
Verse 2
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
I was a sailor, I was born upon the tide,
ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
With the sea I did abide,
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
I sailed a schooner round the horn of Mexico,
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
I went aloft and furled the main sail in a blow,
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
And when the yards broke off they say that I got killed,
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
But I am living still.
Verse 3
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
I was a dam builder, across a river deep and wide,
ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Where steel and water did collide,
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado,
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below,
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
They buried me in that gray tomb that knows no sounds,
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
But I am still around.
Bridge
ch]D[/ch] [ch]D/C#[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D/F#[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
I'll always be around, and around, and around, and around, and around.
Verse 4
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
I'll fly a starship across the universe divide,
ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
And when I reach the other side,
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can,
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again,
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain,
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
But I will remain,
Outro:
ch]D[/ch] [ch]D/C#[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D/F#[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
And I'll be back again, and again, and again, and again, and again.
