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