Highwaymen – Highwayman chords

The Highwaymen – Highwayman
Capo fret 2.

Am 	G 	              F 	        AmI was a highwayman. Along the coach roads I did ride
G	       F	    GWith sword and pistol by my side
Dm	Am	           G	         FMany a young maid lost her baubles to my trade
Dm	Am	        G	        FMany a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade
Am	     G	            F	             CThe bastards hung me in the spring of twenty-five
F	       GBut I am still alive.

Am 	G 	              F 	        AmI was a sailor. I was born upon the tide
G	       F	    GAnd with the sea I did abide.
Dm	Am	           G	         FI sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico
Dm	Am	        G	        FI went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow
Am	     G	            F	             CAnd when the yards broke off they said that I got killed
F	       GBut I am living still.

Am 	G 	              F 	        AmI was a dam builder across the river deep and wide
G	       F	    GWhere steel and water did collide
Dm	Am	           G	         FA place called Boulder on the wild Colorado
Dm	Am	        G	        FI slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
Am	     G	            F	             CThey buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound
F	       GBut I am still around..
G              C C/Am  Am G F Em  Dm	 F G CI'll always be around and around............

Am 	G 	              F 	        AmI fly a starship across the Universe divide
G	       F	    GAnd when I reach the other side
Dm	Am	           G	         FI'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
Dm	Am	        G	        FPerhaps I may become a highwayman again
Am	     G	            F	             COr I may simply be a single drop of rain
F	       GBut I will remain
G              C C/Am  Am G F Em  Dm	 F G CAnd I'll be back again, and again and again and again and again..
