Highwayman - The Highwaymen
[Intro] Capo 4
Em
[Verse 1] (Willie Nelson)
Em D C Em
I was a highwayman, along the coach roads I did ride
D C G D
With sword and pistol by my side
Am Em D C
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade
Am Em D C
Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade
Em D C D G
The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty five
C D
But I am still alive
[Verse 2] (Kris Kristofferson)
Em D C Em
I was a sailor, I was born upon the tide
D C G D
With the sea, I did a--bide
Am Em D C
I sailed a schooner round the horn to Mexi--co
Am Em D C
I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow
Em D C D G
And when the yards broke off, they said that I got killed
C D
But I am living still
[Verse 3] (Waylon Jennings)
Em D C Em
I was a dam builder, across a river deep and wide
D C G D
Where steel and water did col--lide
Am Em D C
A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado
Am Em D C
I slipped and fell into the wet concrete be--low
Em D C D G
They buried me in that gray tomb that knows no sound
C D
But I am still around
[Bridge] (All)
G D Em D
I'll always be around, and around, and around, and around,
C G Am C D G
and around, and around ...
[Verse 4] (Johnny Cash)
Em D C Em
I'll fly a starship 'cross the universe di--vide
D C G D
And when I reach the other side
Am Em D C
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
Am Em D C
Perhaps I may become a high--wayman again
Em D C D G
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
C D
But I will remain
[Outro] (All)
G D Em D
And I'll be back again, and again, and again, and again,
C G Am C D G
and again, and again ...
