Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
I was a high[G]wayman
Along [F]the coach roads, I did [Am]ride
[G]With sword and pis[F]tol by my [C]sid[G]e[Dm]
Many a young [Am]maid lost her
[G]baubles to my [F]trade[Dm]
Many a sol[Am]dier shed
[G]his lifeblood on my [F]blade
[Am]The bastards hung [G]me in
[F]the spring of [G]twenty- [C]five
[F]But I am still alive

[Interlude 1]
[G][Am]

[Verse 2]
I was [G]a sailor
I was [F]borne upon the [Am]tide
[G]And with the[F] sea, I did abi[G]de
[Dm]I sailed a sch[Am]ooner round
the [G]Horn to Mexico
[F]I w[Dm]ent aloft a[Am]nd furled
the [G]mainsail in [F]a blow
[Am]And when the yards bro[G]ke
off they [F]said that [G]I got [C]killed
But [F]I am living still

[Interlude 2]
[G][Am]

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

[Interlude 3]
[F][C][Dm][F][G][C]

[Verse 4]
[Am]I fly a starship[G]
Across the Uni[F]verse di[Am]vide
[G]And when I rea[F]ch the other sid[G]e
[Dm]I'll find [Am]a place to rest my [G]spirit if [F]I can
[Dm]Perhaps I ma[Am]y become
[G]a highwayman [F]again
[Am]Or I may simpl[G]y be a sin[F]gle drop[G] of ra[C]in
[F]But I will re[G]main
I'll be back [C]again and [G]again and again and
[Am]again and [G]again and [F]again

[Outro 1]
[C][Dm][G][C]
