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