Verse 1 - (Willie Nelson)
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/h/highwaymen/highwayman_crd.html ]
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 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,
Bm7 A G Bm7
The bastards hung me in the spring of 25,
D 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 said that I got killed,
But I am living still...
Verse 3 - (Waylon Jennings)
I was a dam builder, across a river deep and wide,
Where steel and water did collide,
A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado,
I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below,
They buried me in that gray tomb that knows no sounds,
But I am still around,
D D/C# Bm7 A G D/F# Em
I'll always be around, and around, and around, and around, and around
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...
D D/C# Bm7 A G D/F# Em
And I'll be back again, and again, and again, and again, and again
