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