Highwayman chords by Johnny Cash

Capo 2nd fret

(Willie)
Am   G          F        Am
I was a highwayman. Along the coach roads I did ride
G       F      G
With 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        C
The bastards hung me, in the spring of twenty-five
F       G
But I am still alive.

(Kris)
Am   G       F       Am
I was a sailor. I was born upon the tide
G      F     G
And with the sea I did abide.
Dm     Am         G    F
I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico
Dm   Am          G       F
I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow
Am         G        F        C
And when the yards broke off, they said that I got killed
F        G
But I am living still.

(Waylon)
Am     G          F       Am
I was a dam builder. Across the 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         Am
They buried me, in that great tomb that knows no sound
F       G
But I am still around..
G       C     Am    G    F   Em   Dm
I'll always be around and around............

(Johnny)
Am   G          F    Am
I 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       Am
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
G  F    G
But I, will remain
G        C     Am    G     F     Em  Dm
And I'll be back again, and again and again and again and again..
