Highwayman

[Intro]
| Bm | - | - | - |

[Verse 1]
Bm            A
  I was a highwayman
               G                Bm
Along the coach roads I did ride
A               G        D   A
 With sword and pistol by my side
Em            Bm              A                  G
  Many a young  maid lost her baubles to my trade
Em          Bm            A               G
  Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade
Bm                 A                G   A         D
  The bastards hung me in the spring of twentyfive
    Bm              A
But I am still alive

[Verse 2]
Bm        A
  I was a sailor
      G             Bm
I was born upon the tide
A                G  D        A
 And with the sea I did abide
Em           Bm                 A             G
  I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico
Em            Bm               A             G
  I went aloft  and furled the mainsail in a blow
Bm                  A               G          A    D
  And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed
    Bm          A
But I am living still

[Verse 3]
Bm           A
  I was a dam builder
           G              Bm
Across the river deep and wide
A                G        D   A
 Where steel and water did collide
Em               Bm             A          G
  A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado
Em              Bm               A
  I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
G
Bm              A              G         A       D
  They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound
    Bm               A
But I am still around

[Chorus]
                D          D/C#       Bm         A
I'll always be around and around and around and around and
 G          D/F#
around and around
Em G A D

[Verse 4]
Bm        A
  I fly a starship
            G             Bm
Across the Universe divide
A           G         D     A
 And when I reach the other side
Em                 Bm           A           G
  I'll find a place  to rest my spirit if I can
Em             Bm         A               G
  Perhaps I may  become a highwayman again
Bm         A           G          A   D
  Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
Bm               A
But I will remain

[Chorus]
And I'll be back again,
D     D/C#      Bm        A         G         D/F#
 and again and again and again and again and again
Em G A D A D
