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
