(Willie)
Bm A G A Bm
I was a highwayman. Along the coach roads I did ride
A G A
With 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 twenty-five
G A
But I am still alive.

(Kris)
Bm A G A Bm
I was a sailor. I was born upon the tide
A G A
And with the sea I did abide.
Em Bm A G
I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico
Em Bm A G
I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow
Bm A G A D
And when the yards broke off, they said that I got killed
G A
But I am living still.
-----------------------------------------------------------
(Waylon)
Bm A G Bm
I was a dam builder. Across the 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 great tomb that knows no sound
G A
But I am still around.
A D Bm A G F#m Em B>C#>D
I'll always be around and around............
-------------------------------------------------------------
(Johnny)
Bm A G Bm
I 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
G A
But I, will remain
D Bm
And I'll be back again, and again
A G F#m Em B>C#>D
and again and again and again..
