Highwayman Ver2 Chords & Lyrics - Johnny Cash

[Bm]I was a [A]highwayman. Along the [G]coach roads I did [Bm]ride
[A]With sword and [G]pistol by my [A]side
[Em]Many a [Bm]young maid lost her [A]baubles to my [G]trade
[Em]Many a [Bm]soldier shed his [A]lifeblood on my [G]blade
[Bm]The bastards [A]hung me in the [G]spring of [A]twenty-[D]five
But [G]I am still [A]alive.

I was a sailor. I was born upon the tide
And with the sea I did abide.
I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico
I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow
And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed
But I am living still.

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

I fly a starship across the Universe divide
And when I reach the other side
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
But I will remain
And I'll be back again, and again and again and again and again..
