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 colGlide
Dm A place called Am Boulder on the G wild ColoFrado
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 diAmvide
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 highGwayman 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
