Highwaymen

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)
