[Verse 1]
[Am]That's something else
I realized, too.
I used to be nervous
when I'd be out in front of an audience,
especially by myself. Then I
realized what my job was.
I was like the guy, you know,
I may be schizophrenic,
but I'll always have each other.
I was that bad.
A fabulous Jimmy Webb song.
I was a [G]highwayman
Along the [F]coach roads I did [Am]ride
[G]With sword and [F]pistol by [C]my [G]side
[Dm]Many a [Am]young maid lost her
[G]baubles to my [F]trade
[Dm]Many a sol d[Am]ier shed his
[G]lifeblood on [F]my blade
[Am]The bastards hung me
[C]in the spr[F]ing of twe[G]nty -five,
[C]But[G] I a[C]m s[F]till
[G]alive.[Gsus4][G]
[Am]I was a sail[G]or,
and I [F]was born upon [Am]the tide,
An[G]d with the sea I[F] di[C]d abide.
[G]I s[Dm]ailed a s[Am]chooner
around [G]the horn to Mexico
[F]I w[Dm]ent aloft[Am] to furl
the [G]mainsail in a [F]blow
[Am]And when the yards[C] broke off
they [F]say that [G]I got killed
[C]But [F]I'm livin' [G]still[Gsus4][G]
[Am]And I was a [G]dam builder
across the river[F]s deep an[Am]d wide
[G]Where steel and [F]water [C]did col[G]lide
[Dm]A place called Bou[Am]lder on
the [G]wild [F]Colorado[Dm]
I slipped [Am]and fell into the
wet [G]concrete below
[F]The[Am]y buried me in [C]that great tomb
[F]that [G]knows no [C]sound
[G]But [F]I am still a[G]round,
I guess I'll always be around
[C]And aro[G]und, and aro[Am]und, and aro[C]und, an [Am]d aro[C]un[F]d,
and [C]around, and [Dm]around[G][C][F][G][C][G]
[Am]I'll fly a star[G]ship across
[F]the universe [Am]divine
An[G]d when I r[F]each the o[C]ther s[G]ide
[Dm]I'll find [Am]a place to rest my
[G]spirit if [F]I can
[Dm]Perhaps I may [Am]become
a [G]highwayman again
[F]Or I m[Am]ay simpl[C]y be
a [F]single [G]drop of [C]rain
But I [F]will re[G]main
And I'll be back [C]again,
and [G]again, and [Am]again
And [C]again, and [F]again, and [C]again,
and [Dm]again[G][Dm]
[C][F][G][C][Am][C]
