The Highwaymen

Intro: Bm7

Verse 1: (Willie Nelson)

Bm7 A G Bm7

I was a highwayman, along the coach roads I did ride,

A G A

Sword and pistol by my side,

Em D Em A

Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade,

Em D Em A

Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade,

Bm7 A G Bm7

The basterds hung me in the spring of 25,

D A

But I am still alive

Verse 2: (Kris Kristopherson)

I was a sailor, I was born upon the tide,

With the sea I did abide,

I sailed a schooner round the horn of Mexico,

I went aloft and furled the main sail in a blow,

And when the yard broke off they say that I got killed,

But I am living still

Verse 3: (Waylon Jennings)

I was a dam builder, across a river long and wide,

Where steel and water did collide,

A place called boulder on the wild Colorado,

I slipped and fell on the wet concrete below,

They buried me in that gray tomb that knows no sounds,

But I am still around,

Bridge Thingy: (All)

D D/C# Bm7 A G D/F# Em

I'll always be around, and around, and around, and around, and around

Verse 4: (Johnny Cash)

I'll fly a starship across the universe divide,

And when I reach the other side,

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

Perhaps I may become a highwayman again,

Or I may simply be a single drop of rain,

But I will remain,

Outro: (All) (same chords as bridge)

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