As interpreted by Joe G
Standard tuning, no capo
Intro: Bm
Verse 1: (Willie Nelson)
BmI was a highwayAman, along the Gcoach roads I did Bmride,
ASword and Gpistol by my Aside,
EmMany a Bmyoung maid lost her baAubles to my tGrade,
EmMany a Bmsoldier shed his Alifeblood on my Gblade,
BmThe bastards Ahung me in the Gspring of A25D,
BmBut I am Gstill aliAve
Verse 2: (Kris Kristofferson)
BmI was a Asailor, I was Gborn uApon the Bmtide,
AWith the Gsea I did aAbide,
EmI sailed a Bmschooner round the Ahorn of MexiGco,
EmI went aBmloft and furled the Amain sail in a Gblow,
BmAnd when the Ayards broke off they Gsay that AI got Dkilled,
BmBut I am Gliving Astill
Verse 3: (Waylon Jennings)
BmI was a Adam builder, across a Griver deep and Bmwide,
AWhere steel and Gwater did colAlide,
EmA place called BmBoulder on the Awild ColoGrado,
EmI slipped and Bmfell into the Awet concrete beGlow,
BmThey buried Ame in that gray Gtomb that Aknows no Dsounds,
BmBut I am Gstill aAround,
Bridge: (All)
I'll always be aDround, and aD/C#round, and aBmround, and aAround, and aGroundD/F#... Em
Verse 4: (Johnny Cash)
BmI'll fly a Astarship across the Guniverse diBmvide,
AAnd when I Greach the other Aside,
EmI'll find a Bmplace to rest my Aspirit if I Gcan,
EmPerhaps I Bmmay become a Ahighwayman aGgain,
BmOr I may Asimply be a Gsingle Adrop of Drain,
BmBut I Gwill reAmain,
Outro: (All)
And I'll be back aDgain, and aD/C#gain, and aBmgain, and aAgain, and aGgain.D/F#.. Em
