Verse 1
G 
I was a highwayman,
F 
Am 
along the coach roads I did ride
G 
F 
G 
Sword and pistol by my side
Dm 
Am 
Many a young maid lost her
G 
F 
baubles to my trade
Dm 
Am 
Many a soldier shed his
G 
lifeblood on my blade
F 
C 
The bastards hung me in
F 
G 
C 
the spring of twenty -five
F 
G 
But I'm still alive
Am 
G 
I   was a sailor,
F 
Am 
I was born upon the tide
G 
F 
C 
G 
With the sea I did abide
Dm 
Am 
Dm 
Sailed a schooner round
G 
the horn to Mexico
F 
Dm 
I went aloft,
Am 
G 
F 
unfurled a minsel in a blow
C 
And when the yards broke off
F 
G 
C 
they say that I got killed
F 
G 
But I'm living still
Am 
G 
I was a dam builder
F 
Am 
across a river deep and wide
G 
F 
C 
G 
Where steel and water did collide
Dm 
Am 
A place called Boulder
Dm 
G 
on the wild Colorado
F 
Dm 
Am 
I  tripped and fell into
G 
the wet concrete below
F 
C 
They buried me in that grey tomb
F 
G 
C 
that knows no sound
F 
G 
But I'm still around
C 
Em 
Am 
G 
I'll always be around and around and around and around
F 
G 
C 
G

G 
F

and around
Am 
G 
I fly a starship across
F 
the universe divine
Am 
G 
F 
C 
G 
When I reach the other side
Dm 
Am 
I'll find a place to rest my
G 
spirit if I can
F 
Dm 
Perhaps I may become
G 
F 
a highwayman again
C 
F 
G 
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
C 
F 
G 
But I  will remain
C 
G 
And I'll be back again, and again,
Am 
G 
F 
G 
and again, and again, and again
