Highwayman
Cash Johnny
Hmi A G Hmi
1. I was a highwayman. Along the coach roads I did ride
A G A
With sword and pistol by my side
Emi Hmi A G
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade
Emi Hmi A G
Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade
Hmi A G A D
The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty-five
G A
But I am still alive.
2. I was a sailor. I was born upon the tide
And with the sea I did abide.
I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico
I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow
And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed
But I am living still.
3. I was a dam builder across the river deep and wide
Where steel and water did collide
A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado
I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound
But I am still around...
D A Hmi F#mi
I'll always be around...and around and around and around
G D Emi G A D
and around
4. I fly a starship across the Universe divide
And when I reach the other side
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
But I will remain
And I'll be back again, and again and again and again and again...
