Highwayman [Am] - Highwaymen
[Intro]
[Am]
[Verse 1] (Willie Nelson)
[Am] I was a [G] highwayman, along the [F] coach roads I did [Am] ride
[G] With sword and [F] pistol [C] by my [G] side
[Dm] Many a young [Am] maid lost her [G] baubles to my [F] trade
[Dm] Many a [Am] soldier shed his [G] lifeblood on my [F] blade
[Am] The bastards [G] hung me in the [F] spring of [G] twenty [C] five
But [F] I am still [G] alive
[Verse 2] (Kris Kristofferson)
[Am] I was a [G] sailor, I was [F] born upon the [Am] tide
[G] With the [F] sea, I [C] did [G] abide
[Dm] I sailed a [Am] schooner round the [G] horn to [F] Mexico
[Dm] I went [Am] aloft and furled the [G] mainsail in a [F] blow
[Am] And when the [G] yards broke off, they [F] said that [G] I got [C] killed
But [F] I am living [G] still
[Verse 3] (Waylon Jennings)
[Am] I was a [G] dam builder, across a [F] river deep and [Am] wide
[G] Where steel and [F] water [C] did col[G]lide
[Dm] A place called [Am] Boulder on the [G] wild Colo[F]rado
[Dm] I slipped and [Am] fell into the [G] wet concrete [F] below
[Am] They buried [G] me in that gray [F] tomb that [G] knows no [C] sound
But [F] I am still [G] around
[Bridge] (All)
I'll always be [C] around, and [G] around, and [Am] around, and [G] around,
and [F] around, and [C] around ... [Dm] [F] [G] [C]
[Verse 4] (Johnny Cash)
[Am] I'll fly a [G] starship 'cross the [F] universe di[Am]vide
[G] And when I [F] reach the [C] other [G ]side
[Dm] I'll find a [Am] place to rest my [G] spirit if I [F] can
[Dm] Perhaps I [Am] may become a high[G]wayman [F] again
[Am] Or I may [G] simply be a [F] single [G] drop of [C] rain
[F] But I will [G] remain
[Outro] (All)
And I'll be back [C] again, and [G] again, and [Am] again, and [G] again,
and [F] again, and [C] again ... [Dm] [F] [G] [C]
