| I was a | highway | man | , | a | long the | coach roads | I did | ride, | | 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 | / | / / | | / | / | A | / / / | | / / / / |
| | The | basterds | hung me | in the | spring of | twenty- | five, | | But | I am | still a | live... | | |
| Bm | A | G | Bm7 | A | G | A |
| I was a | sailor, I was | born upon the | tide, | With the | sea I did a | bide, |
| Em | Bm | A | G |
| I sailed a | schooner round the | horn of Mexi | co, |
| Em | Bm | A | G |
| I went a | loft and furled the | main sail in a | blow, |
| Bm | | A | G | Bm | D | A |
| | And when the | yards broke off they | said that | I've got | killed, But I am living | still... |
| Bm | A | G | Bm7 | A | G | A |
| I was a | dam builder, | across the river deep and | wide, | Where steel and | water did col | lide, |
| Em | Bm | A | G |
| A place called | Boulder on the | wild Colora | do, |
| Em | Bm | A | G |
| I slipped and | fell into the | wet concrete be | low, |
| Bm | | A | G | Bm | D | A |
| | They buried | me in that gray | tomb that | knows no | sounds, But I am still a | round... |
| A | | D | D/C# | Bm7 | A | G | D/F# | Em | / / / | G | A | D |
| | I'll always be a | round, and a | round, and a | round, and a | round, and a | round | | | | | | |
| Bm | A | G | Bm7 | A | G | A |
| I'll fly a | starship ' | cross the universe di | vide, | 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 a | gain, |
| Bm | | A | G | Bm | D | A |
| | Or I may | simply be a | single | drop of | rain, But I will re | main... |
| A | | D | D/C# | Bm7 | A | G | D/F# | Em | / / / | G | A | D |
| | And I'll be back a | gain, and a | gain, and a | gain, and a | gain, and a | gain | | | | | | |
