Capo 2nd fret
(Willie)
AmGFAm
I was a highwayman. Along the coach roads I did ride
GFG
With sword and pistol by my side
DmAmGF
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade
DmAmGF
Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade
AmGFC
The bastards hung me, in the spring of twenty-five
FG
But I am still alive.
-------------------------------------------------------
(Kris)
AmGFAm
I was a sailor. I was born upon the tide
GFG
And with the sea I did abide.
DmAmGF
I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico
DmAmGF
I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow
AmGFC
And when the yards broke off, they said that I got killed
FG
But I am living still.
-----------------------------------------------------------
(Waylon)
AmGFAm
I was a dam builder. Across the river deep and wide.
GFG
Where steel and water did collide.
DmAmGF
A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado
DmAmGF
I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
AmGFAm
They buried me, in that great tomb that knows no sound
FG
But I am still around..
GCAmGFDm
I'll always be around and around............
-------------------------------------------------------------
(Johnny)
AmGFAm
I fly a starship across the Universe divide
GFG
And when I reach the other side
DmAmGF
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
DmAmGF
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
AmGFAm
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
GFG
But I, will remain
GCAmGFEmDm
And I'll be back again, and again and again and again and again..
