Version 1 Version 2 
            The Highwaymen – Highwayman
Capo fret 2.

[Verse 1]
Am      G                    F                Am
I was a highwayman. Along the coach roads I did ride
G              F           G
With sword and pistol by my side
Dm      Am                G            F
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade
Dm      Am             G              F
Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade
Am           G             F               C
The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty-five
F              G
But I am still alive.

[Verse 2]
Am      G                    F                Am
I was a sailor. I was born upon the tide
G              F           G
And with the sea I did abide.
Dm      Am                G            F
I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico
Dm      Am             G              F
I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow
Am           G             F               C
And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed
F              G
But I am living still.

[Verse 3]
Am      G                    F                Am
I was a dam builder across the river deep and wide
G              F           G
Where steel and water did collide
Dm      Am                G            F
A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado
Dm      Am             G              F
I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
Am           G             F               C
They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound
F              G
But I am still around..
G              C C/Am  Am G F Em  Dm     F G C
I'll always be around and around............

[Verse 4]
Am      G                    F                Am
I fly a starship across the Universe divide
G              F           G
And when I reach the other side
Dm      Am                G            F
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
Dm      Am             G              F
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
Am           G             F               C
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
F              G
But I will remain
G              C C/Am  Am G F Em  Dm     F G C
And I'll be back again, and again and again and again and again..
