Chords:
Transpose:
Capo 2nd fret


(Willie)
Am G F AmI was a highwayman. Along the coach roads I did ride
G F GWith sword and pistol by my side
Dm Am G FMany a young maid lost her baubles to my trade
Dm Am G FMany a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade
Am G F CThe bastards hung me, in the spring of twenty-five
F GBut I am still alive.
------------------------------------------------------- (Kris)
Am G F AmI was a sailor. I was born upon the tide
G F GAnd with the sea I did abide.
Dm Am G FI sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico
Dm Am G FI went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow
Am G F CAnd when the yards broke off, they said that I got killed
F GBut I am living still.
----------------------------------------------------------- (Waylon)
Am G F AmI was a dam builder. Across the river deep and wide.
G F GWhere steel and water did collide.
Dm Am G FA place called Boulder on the wild Colorado
Dm Am G FI slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
Am G F Am They buried me, in that great tomb that knows no sound
F GBut I am still around..
G C Am G F Em Dm I'll always be around and around............
------------------------------------------------------------- (Johnny)
Am G F AmI fly a starship across the Universe divide
G F GAnd when I reach the other side
Dm Am G FI'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
Dm Am G FPerhaps I may become a highwayman again
Am G F Am Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
G F GBut I, will remain
G C Am G F Em DmAnd I'll be back again, and again and again and again and again..
