The Highwaymen – Highwayman
Capo 2
[Verse 1]
Am
G F Am G
I was a highwayman. Along the coach roads I did ride
F C G Dm
With sword and pistol by my side
Am G F Dm
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade
Am G F Am
Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade
G F C
The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty-five
F G
But I am still alive.
[Verse 2]
Am
G F Am G
I was a sailor. I was born upon the tide
F C G Dm
And with the sea I did abide.
Am G F Dm
I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico
Am G F Am
I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow
G F C
And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed
F G
But I am living still.
[Verse 3]
Am
G F Am G
I was a dam builder across the river deep and wide
F C G Dm
Where steel and water did collide
Am G F Dm
A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado
Am G F Am
I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
G F C
They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound
F G
But I am still around..
G C C/Am Am G
I'll always be around and around and around and around
F Em Dm F G C
and around and around and around
[Verse 4]
Am
G F Am G
I fly a starship across the Universe divide
F C G Dm
And when I reach the other side
Am G F Dm
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
Am G F Am
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
G F G C
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
F G
But I will remain
G C C/Am Am G
And I'll be back again, and again and again and again and again..
F Em Dm F G C
and again and again and again..
