Verse:
Bm      A 
I was a highwayman
          G                 Bm
Along the coach roads I did ride
A         G            A
Sword and pistol by my side
Em     Bm                  A              G
Many a young maid lost her bottles to my trade
Em     Bm                A               G
Many a soldier shed his life blood on my blade
Bm           A              G         A      D
The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty five
    G            A
But I am still alive

Verse:

I was a sailor, I was born upon the tide,
With the sea I did abide,
I sailed a schooner round the horn of Mexico,
I went aloft and furled the main sail in a blow,
And when the yard broke off they say that I got killed,
But I am living still


Verse:

I was a damnbuilder
across the river deep and wide 
where steel and water did collide
a place called Boulder on the wild Colorado
I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
they buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound 
but I'm still around

                D           D/C#        Bm7         A           G    D/F# Em
I'll always be around, and around, and around, and around, and around


Verse:

I'll fly a starship
'cross the universe divine
and when I reach the other side
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
perhaps I may become a highwayman again
or I may simply be a single drop of rain
but I will remain
and I'll be back again, (and again - repeat and fade)

Great tab! It is "Baubles" in the first verse, but when you sing it in room full of drunks....who cares. TY for the post.
By the way...Which version of D/C# are you playing?
