[VERSE]
[Am] I was a [G]highwayman, along the [F]coach roads I did[Am] ride
[G] With sword and [F]pistol [C]by my [G]side
[Dm] Many a [Am]young 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 [G]twenty-[C]five
But [F]I am still a[G]live
[VERSE 2]
[Am] I was a [G]sailor, I was [F]born u[G]pon the [Am]tide
[G] With the [F]sea I [C]did a[G]bide
[Dm] I sailed a [Am]schooner ‘round the [G]horn to Mexi[F]co
[Dm] I went a[Am]loft to furl the [G]main sail in a [F]blow
[Am] And when the [G]yards broke off they [F]said that [G]I got [C]killed
But [F]I am living [G]still
[VERSE 3]
[Am] I was a [G]dam builder, across a [F]river deep and [Am]wide
[G] Where steel and [F]water [C]did col[G]lide
[Dm] A place called [Am]Boulder on the [G]wild Colora[F]do
[Dm] I slipped and [Am]fell into the [G]wet concrete be[F]low
[Am] They buried me [G]in that gray [F]tomb that [G]knows no [C]sound
But [F]I am still a[G]round
[BRIDGE]
I'll always be a[C]round, and a[G/B]round, and a[Am]round, and [G]around
And a[F]round, and a[C/E]round, and a[Dm]round [F] -
[G] -
[C]
[VERSE 4]
[Am] I'll fly a [G]starship, across the [F]universe di[Am]vide
[G] And when I [F]reach the [C]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 [G]drop of [C]rain
But [F]I will re[G]main
[OUTRO]
And I'll be back a[C]gain, and a[G/B]gain, and a[Am]gain, and a[G]gain
And a[F]gain, and a[C/E]gain, and a[Dm]gain [F] -
