[Verse]
Bm         A                    G                 Bm  
■  I was a highwayman along the coach roads I did ride
A              G            A   
With sword and pistol by my side
Em        Bm                  A             Gmaj7
■  Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade
Em7        Bm               A                Gmaj7 G
■   Many a soldier shed his life blood on my blade ■
Bm              A              G         A           D
■  The bastards hung me in the spring of 'twentyfive ■
G              A    
But I am still alive
                     G             Bm  
I was a sailor I was born upon the tide
A              G         A    
■ And with the sea I did abide
Em         Bm                  A       Gmaj7 
I sailed a schooner 'round the horn to Mexico


[Chorus]
Em7        Bm                A             G   
■   I went aloft to furl the mainsail in a blow
Bm           A               G              A     D     
And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed
G               A    
But I am living still


[Verse]
Bm         A                      G              Bm  
■  I was a dam builder across the river deep and wide
A               G         A      
Where steel and water did collide
Em                Bm             A    Gmaj7   
■  A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado


[Chorus]
Em7               Bm            A            G    
■   I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
Bm          A               G         A     D       
They buried me in that gray tomb that knows no sound
    G          A     
But I am still around
                          D                
I'll always be around and around and around
    A          Bm7        A     
And around and around and around
G D Em7 D Bm
■ ■ ■   ■ ■ 
           A                    G        Bm    
I'll fly a star ship across the universe divide
A            G               A   
■ And when I reach the other side
Em Em7         Bm               A           G   Gmaj7
■  I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can ■    
          Bm           A          G    
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
Bm       A           G      A       D   
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
G          A     
But I will remain
                 D         A     C#m7
And I'll be back again and again and 
Bm7 A G F#m7 Em7 G D
