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