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