Highwayman

(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              G
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 of Mexico
Dm       Am                    G          F
I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow
Am            G                     F               G
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                   G
They buried me into the great tomb that knows no sound
F                 G
But I am still 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               G
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
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.....
