by The Highwaymen

Intro: Bm7

Verse 1: (Willie Nelson)

Bm7            A              G                 Bm7
I was a highwayman, along the coach roads I did ride,
A         G            A
Sword and pistol by my side,
Em     Bm7                   A             G
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade,
Em     Bm7                   A            G
Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade,
Bm7          A              G         D
The basterds hung me in the spring of 25,
G               A
But I am still alive

Verse 2: (Kris Kristopherson)
I was a sailor, I was born upon the tide,
With the sea I did abide,
I sailed a schooner round the horn of Mexico,
I went aloft and furled the main sail in a blow,
And when the yard broke off they say that I got killed, But I am living still Verse 3: (Waylon Jennings) I was a dam builder, across a river long and wide, Where steel and water did collide, A place called boulder on the wild Colorado, I slipped and fell on the wet concrete below, They buried me in that gray tomb that knows no sounds, But I am still around, Bridge: D D/C#m Bm7 Am Gm F#m Em I'll always be around, and around, and around, and around, and around G A D Verse 4: (Johnny Cash) I'll fly a starship across the universe divide, And when I reach the other side, I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can, Perhaps I may become a highwayman again, Or I may simply be a single drop of rain, But I will remain, Outro: (same chords as bridge) And I'll be back again, and again, and again, and again, and again End: G A D Last chord: D [Thanks to Jonatan Wahledow for corrections]
