Highwaymen - Highwayman 2 guitar tab

I saw the request for this one in the last newsletter and had a copy

that I had worked out.

Highwayman (J.Webb)

Am G F Am

I was a highwayman. Along the coach roads I did ride

G F Am G

With sword and pistol by my side

Dm Am G Fmaj7

Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade

Dm Am G Fmaj7

Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade

Am G F G C

The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty-five

F G

But I am still alive.

Am G F Am

I was a sailor. I was born upon the tide

G F Am G

And with the sea I did abide.

Dm Am G Fmaj7

I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico

Dm Am G Fmaj7

I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow

Am G F G C

And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed

F G

But I am living still.

Am G F Am

I was a dam builder across the river deep and wide

G F Am G

Where steel and water did collide

Dm Am G Fmaj7

A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado

Dm Am G Fmaj7

I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below

Am G F G C

They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound

F G C C/A# Am

But I am still around..I'll always be around..and around and around and

Am/G F F/E Dm F G E

around and around

Am G F Am

I fly a starship across the Universe divide

G F Am G

And when I reach the other side

Dm Am G Fmaj7

I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can

Dm Am G Fmaj7

Perhaps I may become a highwayman again

Am G F G C

Or I may simply be a single drop of rain

F G

But I will remain

C C/A# Am Am/G F F/E Dm

F G C

And I'll be back again, and again and again and again and again..
