Verse 1
(B minor) I was a highwayman (A major)
Along the coach (G major) roads, I did (B minor) ride
(A major) With sword and (G major) pistol by (D major) my (A major) side
(E minor) Many a young (B minor) maid lost her (A major) baubles
to my (G major) trade
(E minor) Many a soldier (B minor) shed his lifeblood (A major)
on my (G major) blade
(B minor) The bastards (A major) hung me
in the spring (G major) of (A major) twenty- (D major) five
But (G major) I am still alive (A major) (A major)

Verse 2
(B minor) I was a (A major) sailor
I was (G major) born upon the (B minor) tide
(A major) And with the (G major) sea, I (D major) did abide (A major)
(E minor) I sailed a (B minor) schooner 'round the (A major) Horn
to Mexico (G major)
(E minor) I went aloft (B minor) and furled the (A major) mainsail
in a (G major) blow
(B minor) And when the yards (A major) broke off
they (G major) said that I (A major) got (D major) killed
But (G major) I am living (A major) still (A major)
Verse 3
(B minor) I was a dam (A major) builder
Across I the (G major) river deep and (B minor) wide
(A major) Where steel and (G major) water did (D major) col (A major) lide
(E minor) A place called (B minor) Boulder
on the (A major) wild Colorado (G major)
(E minor) I slipped and (B minor) fell into
the wet (A major) concrete below (G major)
(B minor) They buried me (A major) in that great tomb (G major)
that (A major) knows no (D major) sound
But (G major) I am still around (A major)
I'll always be
a (D major) round and a (A/C#) round
and a (B minor) round and a (A major) round
and a (G major) round and a (D/F#) round
(E minor) (G major) (A major) (D major)
Verse 4
(B minor) I fly a (A major) starship
Across I the U (G major) niverse divide (B minor)
(A major) And when I reach (G major) the (D major) other (A major) side
(E minor) I'll find a place (B minor) to rest my (A major) spirit
if I (G major) can
(E minor) Perhaps I may (B minor) become
a highwayman (A major) again (G major)
(B minor) Or I may simply (A major) be
a (G major) single drop (A major) of rain (D major)
(G major) But I will remain (A major)
I'll be back again (D major) and a (A/C#) gain
and a (B minor) gain and a (A major) gain
and a (G major) gain and a (D/F#) gain
(E minor) (G major) (A major) (D major)
