| Song: |
5 5 5 -4 -4 -4
I was a highwayman
-6 -7 7 -7 -6 6 5
Along the coach roads I did ride
6 6 6 -6 6 4 -4 6
With sword and pistol by my side
-5 -5 -5 5 5 -4 4 -4 4 5 4 -4
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade
-5 -5 -5 5 5 -4 4 -4 4 5 4 -4
Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade
6 6 5 -6 6 4 5 -6 6 4 -4 5
The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty-five
4 4 4 5 4 -4
But I am still alive
5 5 5 -4 -4
I was a sailor
-6 -7 7 -7-6 6 5
I was born upon the tide
6 6 6 -6 6 4 5 6
And with the sea I did abide
-5 -5 -5 5 5 -4 4 -4 4 5 4 -4
I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico
-5 -5 -5 5 5 -4 4 -4 4 5 4 -4
I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow
-6 -6 -7 7 -7 -6 5 -6 6 4 -4 6
And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed
4 4 4 5 4 -4
But I am living still
5 5 5 -4 -4 -4
I was a dam builder
-6 -6 -7 7-7 -6 6 5
Across the river deep and wide
6 6 6 -6 6 4 5 6
Where steel and water did collide
-4 -4 5 -5 5 -4 4 -4 -4 5 4 -4
A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado
-4 -4 5 -5 5-4 4 -4 -4 5 4 -4
I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
-6 -6 -7 7 -7 -6 6 -6 6 4 -4 5
They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound
4 4 4 5 4 -4
But I am still around
5 -5 -5 5 -4 4 4 4 -3 -3 -3 3 3 2 2 2 -1 1
I'll always be around and around and around and around and around
5 5 5 -4 -4
I fly a starship
-6 -6 -7 7 -7 -6 6 5
Across the Universe divide
6 6 6 -6 6 4 5 6
And when I reach the other side
-5 -5 -5 5 5 -4 4 -4 -4 5 4 -4
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
-5 -5 -5 5 -4 -4 4 -4 -4 5 4 -4
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
-6 -6 -7 7 -7 -6 6 -6 6 4 -4 5
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
4 4 5 4 -4
But I will remain
5 -5 -5 5 -4 4 4 4 -3 -3 -3 3 3 2 2 2 -1 1
And I'll be back again, and again and again and again and again |
