Highwayman Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
I was a high[G]wayman[F]
Along the coach roads I did [Am]ride[G]
With a sword and [F]pistol
by my [G]side[Dm]
Many [C]a young maid lost her baubles
[G]to my tra[F]de[Dm]
Many a sol[C]dier shed his
[G]lifeblood on [F]my [Am]blade
The bastards hun[G]g me in
[F]the spring of twenty- [G]five
But [C]I a[Cm]m sti[C]ll alive

[Interlude 1]
[G][Am]
And I was [G]a sailor

[Verse 2]
[F]
I was born upon [Am]the tide[G]
With [F]the sea I did [G]abide[Dm]
I sailed [C]a schooner round
the [G]Horn to Mexico
[F]And[Dm] I went aloft a[C]nd furled
the [G]mainsail in a [F]blow[Am]
When [G]the yards broke off they
[F]said that I [G]got killed
But I [C]am living [G]still

[Verse 3]
[Am]
And I was [G]a dam b[F]uilder
Across this river deep and [Am]wide[G]
Where steel and [F]water did col[G]lide[Dm]
In a place [C]called Boulder on
[G]the wild Color[F]ado[Dm]
I slipped and [C]fell into [G]the
wet concrete below
[F]The[Am]y buried [G]me in that great
[F]tomb that knows no [G]sound
But I [C]am still [G]around
And I'll always be [Am]around and
[G]around and around

[Interlude 2]
[F][Am]

[Verse 4]
And I flew a [G]starship[F]
Across the Universe [Am]divide[G]
When I [F]reach the other [G]side[Dm]
I'll find [C]a place to [G]rest [C]my
[G]spirit if I [F]can[Dm]
Perhaps [C]I may become a[G]
highwayman [F]again[Am]
Or I may [G]simply be a single
[F]drop of [G]rain
And [C]I w[G]ill remain
And I'll come back again,
[Am]and agai[G]n and [F]again[Am]
And again, [G]and again and again

[Outro 1]
[F]
