Verse 1
Am 
That's something else
I realized, too.
I used to be nervous
when I'd be out in front of an audience,
especially by myself. Then I
realized what my job was.
I was like the guy, you know,
I may be schizophrenic,
but I'll always have each other.
I was that bad.
A fabulous Jimmy Webb song.
G 
I was a highwayman
F 
Am 
Along the coach roads I did ride
G 
F 
C 
G 
With sword and pistol by my side
Dm 
Am 
Many a young maid lost her
G 
F 
baubles to my trade
Dm 
Am 
Many a sol dier shed his
G 
F 
lifeblood on my blade
Am 
The bastards hung me
C 
F 
G 
in the spring of twenty -five,
C 
G 
C 
F 
But I  am still
G 
Gsus4 
G 
alive.
Am 
G 
I was a sailor,
F 
Am 
and I was born upon the tide,
G 
F 
C 
And  with the sea I  did abide.
G 
Dm 
Am 
I  sailed a schooner
G 
around the horn to Mexico
F 
Dm 
Am 
I  went aloft to furl
G 
F 
the mainsail in a blow
Am 
C 
And when the yards broke off
F 
G 
they say that I got killed
C 
F 
G 
Gsus4 
G 
But I'm livin' still
Am 
G 
And I was a dam builder
F 
Am 
across the rivers deep and wide
G 
F 
C 
G 
Where steel and water did collide
Dm 
Am 
A place called Boulder on
G 
F 
Dm 
the wild Colorado
Am 
I slipped and fell into the
G 
wet concrete below
F 
Am 
C 
They buried me in that great tomb
F 
G 
C 
that knows no sound
G 
F 
G 
But I  am still around,
I guess I'll always be around
C 
G 
Am 
C 
Am 
C 
F 
And around, and around, and around, an  d  around,
C 
Dm 
G 
C 
F 
G 
C 
G 
and around, and around
Am 
G 
I'll fly a starship across
F 
Am 
the universe divine
G 
F 
C 
G 
And when I reach the other side
Dm 
Am 
I'll find a place to rest my
G 
F 
spirit if I can
Dm 
Am 
Perhaps I may become
G 
a highwayman again
F 
Am 
C 
Or I may simply be
F 
G 
C 
a single drop of rain
F 
G 
But I will remain
C 
And I'll be back again,
G 
Am 
and again, and again
C 
F 
C 
And again, and again, and again,
Dm 
G 
Dm 
and again
C 
F 
G 
C 
Am
