The Highwaymen
Recorded by The Highwaymen

(Willie)
1. [Bm7]I was a high-[A]wayman, al-[G]ong the coach [Bm&] roads I did ride,
[A] Sword [G] and pistol [A] by my side,
[Em] Many a [D] young maid lost [Em] her pob-[A]bles to my trade,
Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade,
[Bm7 The basterds [A] hung me [G] in the spring [Bm7] of 25,
[D] But I am still [A] alive

(Waylon)
2. 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

(Johnny)
3. I was a dam builder, across a river long and wide,
Where steel and water did collide,
A place called bolder 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,

(all)
I'll always [D] be around, [D/C#] and around, [Bm7] and a-[A]round, and [G] around, [D/F#] and Em] around

(Johnny)
4. 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,

(all)
And I'll be back again, and again, and again, and again, and again
