Am
Intro: Bm
Verse 1
AGFAmBmAGBm
I was a highwayman, along the coach roads I did ride,
GFGAGA
Sword and pistol by my side,
DAGFEmBmAG
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade,
DAGFEmBmAG
Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade,
AGFCBmAGAD
The bastards hung me in the spring of 25,
AFGBmGA
But I am still alive.
Verse 2
AGFGAmBmAGABm
I was a sailor, I was born upon the tide,
GFGAGA
With the sea I did abide,
DAGFEmBmAG
I sailed a schooner round the horn of Mexico,
DAGFEmBmAG
I went aloft and furled the main sail in a blow,
AGFCBmAGAD
And when the yards broke off they say that I got killed,
AFGBmGA
But I am living still.
Verse 3
AGFAmBmAGBm
I was a dam builder, across a river deep and wide,
GFGAGA
Where steel and water did collide,
DAGFEmBmAG
A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado,
DAGFEmBmAG
I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below,
AGFCBmAGAD
They buried me in that gray tomb that knows no sounds,
AFGBmGA
But I am still around.
Bridge C C/D Am G F Em Dm F G C
DD/C#BmAGDDm#
I'll always be around, and around, and around, and around, and around.
Verse 4
AGFAmBmAGBm
I'll fly a starship across the universe divide,
GFGAGA
And when I reach the other side,
DAGFEmBmAG
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can,
DAGFEmBmAG
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again,
AGFGCBmAGAD
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain,
AFGBmGA
But I will remain,
Outro: C C/D Am G F Em Dm F G C
DD/C#BmAGDmF#
And I'll be back again, and again, and again, and again, and again.
