The Highwaymen - Highwaymen

^EmI was a ^Dhighwayman, along the coach roads I did ^Emride, With sword and pistol by my s^Dide. ^AmMany a y^Emoung maid lost her^D baubles to my ^Emtrade. ^AmMany a s^Emoldier lost his ^Dlifeblood on my b^Emlade. ^EmThe bastards hung me in the s^Dpring of twenty-five: But ^CI am still ^Dalive.

^EmI was a s^Dailor, I was born upon the ^Emtide. And with the sea I did a^Dbide. ^AmI sailed a ^Emschooner round the H^Dorn to M^Emexico. ^AmI went al^Emoft and furled the m^Dainsail in a ^Emblow. ^EmAnd when the yards broke off, they ^Dsaid that I got killed: But ^CI am living ^Dstill.

^EmI was a da^Dm builder across the river deep an^Emd wide; Where steel and water did ^Dcollide. ^AmA place called B^Emoulder on the ^Dwild Colo^Emrado, ^AmI slipped and f^Emell into the ^Dwet concrete ^Embelow. ^EmThey buried me in that great ^Dtomb that knows no sound: But ^CI am still ^Daround.

^DI'll always be a^Ground,. And ^Daround and a^Cround and ^Daround and ^Garound.

^EmI fly a stars^Dhip across the Universe ^Emdivide. And when I reach the other ^Dside, ^AmI'll find a ^Emplace to rest my s^Dpirit if I ^Emcan. ^AmPerhaps I ^Emmay become a ^Dhighwayman ^Emagain. ^EmOr I may simply be a single d^Drop of rain; ^CBut I will ^Dremain.

^DAnd I'll be back a^Ggain, And ^Dagain and ^Cagain and a^Dgain and ^Gagain.
