Am       G         F                            Am 
I was a highwayman, along the coach roads I did ride,
G         F            G
Sword and pistol by my side,
Dm     Am                    G            F
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade,
Dm     Am               G               F
Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade,
Am           G              F         G C
The bastards hung me in the spring of 25,
Am       F        G
But I am still alive


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


Am      G           F                        Am 
I was a dam builder, across a river deep and wide,
G               F            G
Where steel and water did collide,
Dm             Am             G        F
A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado,
Dm            Am            G              F
I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below,
Am          G               F         G        C
They buried me in that gray tomb that knows no sounds,
Am       F      G
But I am still around,

                C           G          Am          G           F      Dm
I'll always be around, and around, and around, and around, and around


Am         G        F                    Am 
I'll fly a starship across the universe divide,
G          F               G
And when I reach the other side,
Dm          Am               G           F
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can,
Dm        Am           G           F
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again,
Am       G           F      G       C
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain,
Am    F      G
But I will remain,

                  C          G         Am         G          F     Am
And I'll be back again, and again, and again, and again, and again
