Highwaymen - Highwaymen guitar chord

Verse:

Bm A

I was a highwayman

G Bm

Along the coach roads I did ride

A G A

Sword and pistol by my side

Em Bm A G

Many a young maid lost her bottles to my trade

Em Bm A G

Many a soldier shed his life blood on my blade

Bm A G A D

The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty five

G A

But I am still alive

Verse:

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:

I was a damnbuilder

across the river deep and wide

where steel and water did collide

a place called Boulder on the wild Colorado

I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below

they buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound

but I'm still around

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

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

Verse:

I'll fly a starship

'cross the universe divine

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

and I'll be back again, (and again - repeat and fade)
