AmGFAm
I was a highwayman, along the coach roads I did ride
GFCG
With sword and pistol by my side
DmAmGF
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade
DmAmGF
Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade
AmGFGC
The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty five
FGG
But I am still alive
AmGFAm
I was a sailor, I was born upon the tide
GFCG
With the sea, I did abide
DmAmGF
I sailed a schooner round the horn to Mexico
DmAmGF
I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow
AmGFGC
And when the yards broke off, they said that I got killed
FGG
But I am living still
AmGFAm
I was a dam builder, across a river deep and wide
GFCG
Where steel and water did collide
DmAmGF
A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado
DmAmGF
I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
AmGFGC
They buried me in that gray tomb that knows no sound
FG
But I am still around
CG/BAmG
I'll always be around, and around, and around, and around,
FC/EDmFGC
and around, and around ...
AmGFAm
I'll fly a starship 'cross the universe divide
GFCG
And when I reach the other side
DmAmGF
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
DmAmGF
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
AmGFGC
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
FG
But I will remain
CG/BAmG
And I'll be back again, and again, and again, and again,
FC/EDmFGC
and again, and again ...
