Highwayman
by The Highwaymen (Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, Waylon Jennings, & Johnny Cash)
As interpreted by Joe G
Standard tuning, no capo
Intro: Bm
Verse 1: (Willie Nelson)
Bm A G Bm
I was a highwayman, along the coach roads I did ride,
A G A
Sword and pistol by my side,
Em Bm A G
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade,
Em Bm A G
Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade,
Bm A G A D
The bastards hung me in the spring of 25,
Bm G A
But I am still alive
Verse 2: (Kris Kristofferson)
Bm A G A Bm
I was a sailor, I was born upon the tide,
A G A
With the sea I did abide,
Em Bm A G
I sailed a schooner round the horn of Mexico,
Em Bm A G
I went aloft and furled the main sail in a blow,
Bm A G A D
And when the yards broke off they say that I got killed,
Bm G A
But I am living still
Verse 3: (Waylon Jennings)
Bm A G Bm
I was a dam builder, across a river deep and wide,
A G A
Where steel and water did collide,
Em Bm A G
A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado,
Em Bm A G
I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below,
Bm A G A D
They buried me in that gray tomb that knows no sounds,
Bm G A
But I am still around,
Bridge: (All)
D D/C# Bm A G D/F# Em
I'll always be around, and around, and around, and around, and around...
Verse 4: (Johnny Cash)
Bm A G Bm
I'll fly a starship across the universe divide,
A G A
And when I reach the other side,
Em Bm A G
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can,
Em Bm A G
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again,
Bm A G A D
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain,
Bm G A
But I will remain,
Outro: (All)
D D/C# Bm A G D/F# Em
And I'll be back again, and again, and again, and again, and again...
