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