Tom: Bm
Bm
[Verse]
Bm A G
I was a highwayman
Bm
On the coach roads I did ride
A G A
With a sword and pistol by my side
Em D A G
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade
Em D A G Bm
Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade
A G A
The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty-five
D A
But I'm still alive
[Verse]
Bm A G
I was a sailor
Bm A
And I was born upon the tide
G A
And with the sea I did abide.
Em D A G
I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico
Em D A G Bm
I went aloft to furl the mainsail in a blow
A G A
When the yards broke off they said that I got killed
D A
But I'm living still
[Verse]
Bm A G
I was a dam builder
Bm A
Across this river deep and wide
G A Em
Where steel and water did collide
D A G Em
In a place called Boulder on the wild Colorado
D A G Bm
I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
A G A
They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound
D A
But I'm still around
Bm A G
And I'll always be around, and around, and around
[Verse]
Bm A G
I flew a starship
Bm A
Across the universe divide
G A Em
And when I reach the other side
D A G Em
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
D A G Bm
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
A G A
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
D A
But I will remain
Bm A G
And I'll come back again, and again, and again
[Outro]
Bm A G
And again, and again, and again
