[Am] I was a [G] highwayman, along the [F] coach roads I did [Am] ride  [G] With sword and [F] pistol by my [G] side - - - [Dm] Many a young [Am] maid lost her [G] baubles to my [F] trade  [Dm] Many a [Am] soldier shed his [G] lifeblood on my [F] blade - - - 
[Am] The bastards [G] hung me, in the [F] spring of twenty-[C]five.  [F] But I am still a-[G]live.  

[Am] I was a [G] sailor, I was [F] born upon the [Am] tide.  [G] And with the [F] sea I did a-[G]bide. - - - 
[Dm] I sailed a [Am] schooner round the [G] Horn to Mexi-[F]co.  [Dm] I went a-[Am]loft and furled the [G] mainsail in a [F] blow. - - - [Am] And when the yards [G] broke off, they [F] said that I got [C] killed.  [F] But I am living [G] still. 

[Am] I was a dam [G] builder, across the [F] river deep and [Am] wide.  [G] Where steel and [F] water did [G] collide. - - - [Dm] A place called [Am] Boulder on the [G] wild Colo-[F]rado.  [Dm] I slipped and [Am] fell into the [G] wet concrete [F] below - - - 
[Am] They buried me, [G] in that great [F] tomb that knows no [C] sound.  [F] But I am still a-[G]round.. - - - [G] I'll always be a-[C]round and a-[G]round  [F] [Em] [Dm]    

[Am] I fly a [G] starship across the [F] Universe di-[Am]vide   [G] And when I [F] reach the other [G] side
[Dm] I'll find a [Am] place to rest my [G] spirit if I [F] can - - - [Dm] Perhaps I [Am] may become a [G] highwayman a-[F]gain.  [Am] Or I may [G] simply be a [F] single drop of [Am] rain - - -  [G] But I, [F] will re-[G]main - - -  [G] And I'll be back a-[C]gain, and a-[G]gain and a-[F]gain and a-[Em]gain and a [Dm]gain..
